BreakAways and Study Abroad Funding

pro seeks to prepare students for an increasingly shrinking world, and therefore has committed a substantial amount of resources to make BreakAways and Study Abroad affordable. 

Some important factors to keep in mind when planning to fund your study abroad or global BreakAway: 

  • All federal and state financial aid “travels with” students to off-campus locations. 
  • For institutional financial aid, the amount applicable toward off-campus study depends on the cost of the program. 
  • There are special BreakAway Funds available to all students to subsidize travel. 
  • Additional pro Travel Awards for international experiences are available for eligible students.

Is your major in the sciences or engineering? Can you picture yourself with a summer internship conducting research in Germany? (German language proficiency is not required.) Then compete for a  scholarship.
