  • must have at least one major in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; 
  • must meet all eligibility criteria to participate in UMBC study abroad programs. 
Check to see if your major is a CAHSS major here at <https://cahss.umbc.edu/departments-programs/

Preference will be given to students:
  • applying for a UMBC faculty-led study abroad program or bilateral tuition exchange program or a UMBC ISEP program. 
  • who might not otherwise study abroad
  • demonstrating financial need by means of a submitted FAFSA form or a narrative that demonstrates financial need not shown through a federal financial aid application.  
Applications for study on the UMBC campus will not be considered.
