The TODOS (The Outcomes-Based Diversity Outreach Strategy) Scholarships are focused on removing the barriers that often keep underrepresented groups with high financial need from studying abroad. This group includes, but is not limited to, students with diverse race, ethnicity, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or veteran status.
At Barcelona SAE, we believe that studying and interning abroad should be affordable and accessible to ALL students. In addition to our low program costs, Barcelona SAE works with your home institution to accept most forms of financial aid…and we also have a wide variety of scholarships to help you bring your costs down even further.
The state and federal financial aid that you apply at your home institution can often be applied to your Barcelona SAE program, including but not limited to: Parent PLUS Loans, Stafford Loans, Pell Grants, and many more. You will need to confirm with both your study abroad and financial aid advisors that the aid that you are eligible for can be used for a Barcelona SAE program, and we’ll work with you and your home institution to make the payment process as smooth as possible.
You may apply for any TODOS scholarship at any time during the admission process but you must apply before the scholarship deadline, even if you have not yet received a decision on your application for admission.
Barcelona SAE is committed to increasing all students’ access to a life-changing experience abroad. To reach this goal, we are proud to offer a variety of scholarships.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All scholarships require an application process, whereas grants will be awarded automatically. Recipients may only be awarded up to ONE scholarship, but you may submit applications for multiple scholarships. Recipients may be awarded multiple grants.
