College of Agriculture Study Abroad Fellowship
Because we believe global experiences are an integral part of a solid education, we award a number of study-abroad scholarships each year. Fellowship awards are for up to $2,000 each and may be applied to study tours, international coursework, exchange programs and more.

You must have achieved at least sophomore standing, have a cumulative GPA of 2.75, be a US Citizen (or permanent US resident i.e. green card holder) and must be committed to enrollment for at least two additional semesters beyond their study abroad trip to apply for the Study Abroad Fellowship. Please note: Students can only receive the Study Abroad Fellowship once during the academic career at Auburn University.
Scholarship Applications
You may apply for a Study Abroad Fellowship to support a planned study abroad program during the next 12-month period. Fellowship applications will be reviewed four times a year. Application due dates for the reviews are September 5, October 5,November 5, and February 5.

The Study Abroad Fellowship requires a brief description of your proposed study abroad or international experience, including a travel itinerary and approximate budget.
