The Office of International Education provides scholarships to help UB students participate in a University at Buffalo or SUNY study abroad program.

- Students maintaining a GPA of 2.8 or higher
- Students who have selected a study abroad program relevant to their current academic program
- Students who will return to UB for at least one semester following their study abroad program
- Applications will be reviewed by the UB Study Abroad Scholarship Committee.
- The award decisions of the committee are final and not subject to appeal.
- Awards will be applied directly to the recipient’s UB student account.
- Scholarship recipients are asked to help UB Study Abroad in promotional activities upon return.
- Recipients of any Office of International Education scholarship will not be considered for future awards.
