Travel changes you. You change the world.
At HI-USA, we think travel should be as much about making a difference in the world as it is about seeing it. That’s why we’ve created Explore the World Travel Scholarships. Recipients receive $2,000 to help finance their international trip that includes an educational or service component.
Last year, HI-USA awarded 81 scholarships to young people across the U.S. so they could go learn Arabic in Jordan, volunteer in India and Vietnam, teach math in the Dominican Republic, or board a plane for the very first time to study abroad in Europe. Winners of the 2016 scholarships have returned home from their travels with a profound sense of intercultural appreciation, and a renewed dedication to spreading the word about travel and tolerance at home.
In 2017, HI-USA will be giving out 98 scholarships to would-be travelers around the country, aged 18-30, who need a little extra help along the way.
If you have a trip in mind to stimulate your personal growth or give back to others, APPLY TODAY for a 2017 Explore the World Travel Scholarship.
