International Study Abroad

Apply for a full-ride study abroad scholarship to attend Nobel Prize Week in Sweden this December!

Offered by EF in partnership with the Nobel Prize Museum and the Forum on Education Abroad, this scholarship supports a one-of-a-kind experience: a virtual, credit-bearing course co-designed and taught by Dr. David Wick, from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, that runs alongside the fall semester and culminates in an immersive, in-person week in Sweden during the Nobel Prize ceremonies.

Students will attend the Nobel Dialogues, hear Nobel Laureates discuss the world’s most pressing challenges, and connect with peers from around the globe. The program is fully funded for your students, and the experience has been described by EF alumni as beyond transformative.

The deadline to apply is May 11, and we would love your help sharing this with your students.
