Financial Aid, Scholarships, and Grants
See the AEA Scholarships and Financial Aid page for information on how your aid may apply to our study abroad programs, as well as resources for scholarships and grants towards study abroad.
In addition to our NEW Irwin Abrams & Paula L. Spier Study Abroad Scholarship, outside scholarships can be of great help. In past years our students have been very successful applying for German Academic Exchange Scholarships (DAAD). We strongly recommend that students begin the scholarship and grant application process as early as possible, as these deadlines may differ considerably from AEA deadlines.
