State Department Opportunities

HI USA would like to invite students to apply for their Explore the World Travel Scholarship! This is the second year of this program. In 2016 HIUSA awarded travel scholarships to 81 applicants across the country. At HI USA, we think travel should be as much about making a difference in the world as it is about seeing it, so we created the Explore the World Travel Scholarship.  We give to you so you can give back. 

Recipients of the Explore the World Travel Scholarships will receive $2,000 to help finance their international trip as long as the trip includes an education or service component.  Recipients will have until August 31, 2018 to use the scholarship (over a year!)

• Be 18 - 30 years of age.
• Be a permanent, legal resident of the USA, Reside/attend school in one of the select metropolitan areas where HI USA has a community presence. See Website for communities involved: https://www.hiusa.org/programs/travel-scholarships/explore-the-world-program-details
