Expand your studies globally to Brazil this summer — and get scholarships and funding to make it affordable!
We are happy to share three main scholarship sources that can reduce the cost of our 17-day study abroad course and guided experience in Brazil from May 30 to June 15:
- UMD Education Abroad scholarships: Students can be awarded up to $1500 for a summer program.
- AGNR Study Abroad scholarship: Our College also awards $750 to support studying in Brazil (must be in a AGNR-sponsored concentration)
- Gilman Scholarship: This is a national scholarship from the State Department that students can apply for. Awards vary but can be up to $5000.
- Related to this, UMD offers the Gilman Guarantee. If students apply for the Gilman scholarship through UMD's National Scholarship Office, they will get $500 guaranteed (regardless of if they receive a Gilman award or not). If they end up not receiving a Gilman award, they still keep that $500, and UMD will award them an additional $2000 (for a total scholarship of $2500). If they do get a Gilman award, then they still keep that initial $500, and they receive whatever amount Gilman decides to award them.
We are less than a month away from the application deadline for this program (Feb 17, 2025). We will hold a final info and Q&A session (hybrid and in the Study Abroad office) on Feb 10th 12:30PM — more details will come about that.
See information and the link to apply here and via the QR code in the flyer. Note that out-of-pocket costs in the portal are estimated and will not be billed for the program and all costs are before applying any scholarship support.
Also, note that speaking Portuguese is not required and this program is tailored to your interests.
We hope you will join us for a life-changing global educational opportunity!
