Scholarships

Coming Soon…

NOTE: Abroadia is currently working to set up the scholarships. We hope to offer them for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Let’s face it, these days it is not cheap to study abroad. Abroadia understands this and has allocated funds to be awarded to students who plan to study on one of our programs. Scholarships may be applied to summer, semester, or other Abroadia-designed programs. Students who are receiving scholarships to take part in faculty-led programs designed by their college or university and Abroadia are not eligible for the Abroadia scholarships. Interested students may apply for one, but not all three scholarships.

Finger Lakes Abroad (FLX Abroad) Scholarship

Students enrolled at a college or university in the Finger Lakes region (NY) are eligible for this scholarship. Apply!

Pablo & Nieves Bueker Scholarship

Pablo founded the BCA Quito program years ago with his wife Nieves, and was an inspired international educator and Latin Americanist. Students who will study in Ecuador with Abroadia may apply for this scholarship. On February 19, 2025, Nieves passed away and we would like to honor her memory by awarding this scholarship to a deserving student. Who will that be?

“Aliados” Scholarship

An “aliado” (ally) is an institution that has worked closely with Abroadia over the years to send students students abroad. In appreciation of these relationships Abroadia awards one scholarship per year to students nominated by these institutions.
**How can you become an Abroadia “aliado”? There are two ways:**
1) Send students on one of Abroadia’s programs or work with Abroadia to create a faculty-led program abroad;
2) Invite Abroadia to your campus study abroad fair.

Since then he provided hundreds of American students with an authentic immersion experiences and he transmitted his love for this Andean country to them through numerous cultural activities. Sadly, Pablo passed away in 2013, but his spirit lives on in the programs that we offer to students who study in Ecuador. We created this scholarship to honor Pablo and his wife Nieves by providing financial support to students who will study in Ecuador through Abroadia.

The Aliados Scholarship (One per student per year)

Abroadia highly values its relationships with colleges and universities in New York and throughout the world. This scholarship is awarded to students enrolled in institutions of higher learning that have a working relationship with Abroadia. The amount of the award varies by program and by year, but we make every effort to provide funds to help students take that important first step to study abroad.

We welcome any donations to our scholarships. You may choose any of the scholarships to contribute to. Whatever amount you decide to donate will be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
