Fellowships and Scholarships

Students interested in immersing themselves in different languages and cultures through international or intercultural research, study and service may be eligible for fellowships and scholarships.

Approximately 30 competitive Bess Ward Honors Travel Scholarships are offered annually to outstanding undergraduate University Honors and Honors in the Major students.  This one time only Honors scholarship helps cover travel costs and personal expenses for one semester (fall, spring, or summer) for Honors students attending an FSU International Program or International Exchange Program in any location.

The Center for Leadership and Civic Education offers the Moeller Serviceship Program, a partially funded service internship that gives selected undergraduate students at The Florida State University the opportunity to focus 8-12 weeks of their summer full-time on service to a nonprofit agency, and contributing to the solution of a specific social need in a specific community locally, nationally or internationally.

These prestigious international fellowships for advanced doctoral students are offered by the Office of Graduate Studies to facilitate research and timely completion of the doctoral degree that requires extended research-time abroad.  Recipients must conduct research abroad for the duration of the fellowship. 

International Programs (IP) administers over $110,000 worth of scholarships each year.  The Florida State University students can apply for one or more of the seven different scholarships available for those studying abroad on The Florida State University's IP programs.  Some of the scholarships are for use on specific programs, while others can be used on any IP program. 

The Office of National Fellowships seeks to benefit the development of student excellence, both academically and intra-personally. Students interested in the opportunity to immerse themselves in different languages and cultures through international or intercultural research and study may be eligible for national fellowships.
