Have you had a meaningful experience abroad that changed the way you saw the world? Help provide similar opportunities for BYU students by donating to the Global Opportunity Scholarship fund! This needs-based scholarship provides up to $5,000 for a student's first academic experience abroad. The scholarship differs from others in that it can fund students from ANY major and ANY college on campus and is one of the few scholarships that is open to international students.

Since its creation in 2015, the Global Opportunity Scholarship has funded 413 students from 100+ different majors and all 11 colleges on campus. To see hundreds of recipients and read about their meaningful experiences abroad, visit the @globalopportunityscholars Instagram account.
