UA Away scholarships provide financial support for students who wish to participate in unique learning opportunities away from the UA campus. UA Away supports three distinct opportunities:

• Study Away
• Serve Away
• Work Away

The three types of UA Away scholarships are as follows:

• Study Away: Students travel to another country, city, or university to study in their academic fields. The Study Abroad Program and National Student Exchange offer these opportunities.
• Serve Away: Students volunteer for service projects, often related to their fields of study or career goals, which expose them to issues related to poverty, hunger, and lack of educational resources, and expose them to new cultures and regions. Opportunities for service are available through the Center for Service and Leadership.
• Work Away: Students receive first-hand work experience, related to academic and career goals, that increases their marketability to future employers.

Application Dates

There are two scholarship cycles. Students may complete an application in the fall for spring travel or in the spring for summer and fall travel.
