Study Abroad

Have you ever dreamed of studying or traveling abroad?

Study abroad is a fantastic opportunity for academic enrichment and personal growth for students in all areas of study, and Southeastern very much encourages you to click on the links to learn more about any opportunities that may interest you, and contact Dr. Meg Cotter-Lynch with any questions! (mcotter@se.edu or 580-745-2986)

Open to all students, alumni, faculty, staff, and spouses:

Edinburgh, Durham & London- March 15 – 24 , 2024

Scholarship Opportunity open to Pell-eligible Undergraduates:

Gilman Scholarship Program

Currently-enrolled undergraduate students who receive Pell grants as part of their financial aid package are also eligible to apply for the Gilman Scholarship Program, which provides up to $5000 to pay for study abroad (including the trip to Spain mentioned above). Additional awards are available for students who are dependents of active-duty members of the military. You can learn more about this scholarship here. The application portal for this scholarship will open in mid-August; the application deadline is October 6, with awardees informed in early December. Southeastern has had three current students receive this scholarship within the past year, so I very much encourage eligible students to apply. I am the campus advisor for this program, so please reach out to me if you are interested in applying.

Opportunities open to Undergraduate and Graduate Students and Recent Graduates:

Fulbright Student Program

Rising seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates are eligible to apply for a number of funded opportunities abroad through the Fulbright Student Program (this means that you are given money to go do these things). Applicants must be U.S. citizens, and need to have completed their bachelor’s degree before they begin participation in the program—although you are encouraged to apply during your senior year, for participation after graduation. Programs include research, study, and English language teaching in countries throughout the world. Please visit this website to learn more about the opportunities available. Dr. Cotter-lynch is the Fulbright Program Advisor for Southeastern. (email/call Dr. Cotter-lynch; mcotter@se.edu or 580-745-2986)

Critical Language Scholarship

The U.S. Department of State provides immersive language training (i.e. you go to the country to learn the language) in a variety of places around the globe that are considered vital to U.S. economic and diplomatic interests. These programs typically last 8 weeks over the summer, and include an orientation session in Washington, D.C. followed by travel abroad and intensive language school in your host country. The U.S. Department of State covers all costs of this program, which is competitive. You can find out more about this program here. You  must be a currently enrolled student (graduate or undergraduate) at the time of application, but you may participate in the program the summer after you graduate. Applications for summer 2023 are not yet open; the portal typically opens in early September, and applications are due in early November for summer 2023 programs. Dr. Cotter-lynch is the Critical Language Scholarship Contact for Southeastern. (email/call Dr. Cotter-lynch; mcotter@se.edu or 580-745-2986)
