Geneseo Study Abroad Scholarships
This page provides a list of the study abroad scholarships administered by SUNY Geneseo’s Study Abroad Office. For the most part, these scholarships are only available to Geneseo students on Geneseo programs.
How Do I Apply?
To apply, students need only submit one application to be considered for all eligible scholarships apart from the SUNY Geneseo Student Association Scholarship. To apply, students will log in to Horizons using their SUNY Geneseo login credentials and visit the “Scholarships” tab to begin a scholarship application. Along with the application itself, students will be prompted to upload a brief video essay along with their resume to be considered. Full instructions can be found in the scholarship application.
For those applying for the SUNY Geneseo Student Association Scholarship, an academic recommendation letter is also required for consideration.
