Students and faculty members in all degree programs at Shorter University are eligible to participate in international programs.
Students who choose to study abroad in either the fall or the spring semester may apply state/federal aid toward the costs of study abroad. The use of institutional scholarships for study abroad will be limited to a maximum of 5 students per semester. The selection criteria will be based on students’ GPAs and information provided in their study abroad applications. Students who are Georgia residents can apply the summer portion of the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and HOPE scholarship (if eligible) for summer study abroad experiences. While institutional scholarships cannot be applied toward summer study abroad, some scholarship funds are available.
Application deadlines for individual study abroad:
Spring = October 15
Summer and Fall = March 15
