In this video, Stories from Abroad scholarship winner Roya Firoozbakhsh tells us about life in Berlin, Germany.

Studying abroad is a life-changing experience that helps to graduate global citizens. But students still cite financial reasons as a top barrier to study abroad.

On behalf of the BC Study Abroad Consortium, we are pleased to announce the Stories from Abroad Scholarship that helps offset some of the costs of learning in another country. 

Student eligibility to apply for this scholarship is based on the following:

1.  They are currently enrolled at a BCSA Consortium institution
2.  They are currently enrolled in a short-term study abroad program or have been accepted into a short-term study abroad program in the current calendar year
