Guatemala Off-Campus Scholarship

An anonymous donor established the Guatemala Off-Campus Fund to support students pursuing the study of language and culture in Guatemala.

If you are considering studying in Guatemala for language credit, make sure to speak to faculty in the Spanish Department prior to applying for the Guatemala Off-Campus Scholarship.

Eligibility requirements
