Provided by Semester at Sea
Semester at Sea generously matches the Federal Pell Grant for the semester. We are passionate about matching Pell Grants and making this once-in-a-lifetime experience more accessible and more affordable for students of all backgrounds, including low-income students who may not otherwise pursue a term abroad. The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate students to promote access to post-secondary education. To be considered, confirmed students are required to provide a copy of the current aid year award letter from the home institution. The Pell Grant Match is awarded on a rolling basis until approximately two weeks prior to the voyage embarkation date or until the funds have been depleted — whichever occurs first. Students should apply for this grant early if they wish to receive funding.
