UK Education Abroad strives to make education abroad programs more affordable and accessible for students. In Academic Year 2017-2018, UK Education Abroad managed the awarding of $294,828 in total scholarships and grants. Of the total amount, $249,500 was awarded via the UK Education Abroad Scholarship to 252 qualified students participating in credit-bearing education abroad programs. This amount was higher than the previous year.

*This number is for all applicants, ineligible and eligible, in AY 16-17. Moving forward, only eligible applicants will be included in this yearly comparison.

The UK Education Abroad and Exchanges Scholarship is open to students earning credit on education abroad programs in the fall, winter, spring, or summer terms, and is not location exclusive. While most scholarships are used on programs in Europe, scholarship funding is used for programs on all continents.

To complement the traditional terms which are funded by the UK EA Scholarship, the New Horizons Scholarship awards students participating on embedded programs, meaning an international experience is embedded into a course taught during the traditional semester at the University of Kentucky.
