Fundraising & travel scholarship opportunities

We believe every student should have the opportunity to experience the lifelong impact of educational travel with EF. That’s why we make sure our personalized payment options are practical, flexible, and approachable. But we also understand that our tours are an investment, so we’ve created tools and resources to help families turn travel dreams into reality—while also investing back in students by awarding over $2.5 million in annual travel scholarships.

Apply for EF’s Global Citizen Scholarship

While we invest over $2.5 million in annual scholarships, our Global Citizen Scholarship is application-based and awards $100,00 to student travelers across the country—any student is encouraged to apply. Your traveler will fill out a quick online application and create a short video about how traveling will change the way they think or feel about the world, or act within it.
