The Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) invests in promising students with financial need who wish to study abroad.

Scholarships range from $1,250 – $10,000 and can be applied for programs that run for at least 28 days.
Application components:
As a Fulbright Scholar, Sophia will attend graduate school at the University of York to earn a master's degree in medical history and humanities so she can shed light on the often overlooked and misinterpreted human experience of those with disabilities throughout history.
As a Fulbright Canada Mitacs awardeee,, Serena will assist researchers at University of Sherbrooke on a biodiversity and functional study of gut bacteriophages to determine how microbial and viral changes contribute to the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. “My major, bioinformatics and computational biology, is very specific, making it a bit difficult to study abroad. I have always wanted to study abroad, and the Fulbright Canada award allows me to go abroad for a semester,” says Serena.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Maggie will attend graduate school at the University of Southampton in its Amputation and Prosthetic Rehabilitation program. “Southampton’s program is about understanding the amputation and rehabilitation process from holistic, patient-centered views,” said Brooks, who will focus on improving access to quality prosthetics in low resource areas.
As a DAAD Rise awardee, Sherry will assist with research at Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany on a project which focuses on developing an artificial intelligence software agent for use in the healthcare field that can use its history with patients, the current situation, as well as various inputs such as tone of voice to form an empathic response. “I pursued a DAAD award because I find myself drawn to the frontier of computer science. I want to witness discoveries and push the boundaries of our understanding.
As a Fulbright Canada Mitacs awardeee, Mikayla will assist with research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, collecting data in a patient population suffering from severe mental illness and substance use disorders, to study patient outcomes and characterization. “I will be working individually with patients at an inpatient rehab facility, conducting computer-based experimental treatments with the patients,” says Mikayla.
