Scholarships for Spanish Study Abroad Programs Best answer on the web

  • Where are some good places to get scholarships to study spanish abroad?

    I'm planning on a full year of study in Costa Rica through ISA
    (International Studies Abroad, www.studiesabroad.com) and need to come
    up with at least 12,000 to cover the cost. I plan on applying for their scholarship on their site, also.
    At one point in time I was a member of the Spanish Honor Society. The
    certificate says: "Es miembro del capitulo El Aguila y la Serpiente de
    dicha Sociedad," butit expired in April 24, 2003.

    The following factors should be taken into consideration for any
    possible scholarships:
    *4.0 GPA
    *3.5 years of high school spanish (one semester of Spanish IV completed).. Got entirely A's and B's, never less. *NOT self supporting
    *1 year of college completion before going

    Basically, I need the scholarships designed for people studying
    abroad, most of the ones i've looked at i have not qualified for for
    one reason or another. I've tried places like fastweb (monster's
    version of scholarship searches) and other sites and had not too much
    luck.

    Thanks,
    Kevin


  • Also, FAFSA is not really an option because my father's income is too high. My parents are divorced, and I live with him, but with three other siblings it is simply not possible to ride his salary through college (nor do I want to), but it is significant enough to eliminate any possible opportunity for Government Financial Aid. If I lived with my mother, who makes substantially less, Government Financial Aid would be substantially increased but this scenario is not possible.
    I am also not _PLANNING_ on majoring in anything like Spanish Teaching, Foreign Languages, or anything like that, in fact i'm not sure what I'd like to major in. What I do know is i'm very interested in learning the Spanish language and culture, as it is increasingly becoming a necessity in the workplace and the world in general.
    I am a dedicated student and would like this opportunity to be possible. I do work, but I live from paycheck to paycheck as I provide most of my own necessities (minus housing and food), so saving up is quite improbable, especially $12,000.
    On top of that, I'll need another $4000 I assume for optional expenses like my Cell phone and other day to day activities throughout the year. That is a completely rough guess, maybe i'll only need an extra $2000, but i'd assume that would not be available through any kind of financial aid or scholarship.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
