CFAES Global Education Scholarships
The College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) has a variety of scholarships available to any CFAES students participating in an Ohio State approved credit-bearing study abroad program.
About CFAES Global Education Scholarships
The CFAES Global Education Scholarship will run multiple cycles each year to match the study abroad program application terms.
Please note every year the application will have these different cycles and students should apply to the scholarship for the cycle that matches their study abroad program application term and year.
Below is a list of the various application cycles/terms that will run every year and the associated application open and close dates. We will update the table with the scholarship application open and close dates as they are determined.
Students who have not submitted an application for an approved Ohio State credit-bearing study abroad program will not be considered for CFAES scholarship funding.

How to Apply
Students can apply to CFAES global education scholarships through Scholarship Universe. Any CFAES student should automatically match to the various CFAES study abroad scholarships for which they are eligible. The application is the same for all CFAES study abroad scholarships. Once you have completed the CFAES Global Education application for one scholarship, it will automatically apply the application to all the scholarships for which you are eligible.
Award Information
All CFAES scholarship awards are contingent on students committing to and ultimately traveling with their program. If you withdraw from your program at any point, the study abroad scholarship will be removed from your account (or need to be repaid if the award was already disbursed).
In recent years, about 90% of CFAES students who applied received CFAES study abroad scholarship funding. Award amounts for winter or spring break programs ranged from $1,000-$2,000 and award amounts for semester or summer programs ranged from $1,000-$3,000.
