How to apply!

Essays can be sent to studyabroad@alfred.edu with "CLAS Travel Scholarship" in the subject line.
- Complete the "Financial Aid Planning for AU Study Abroad Programs" item on your application checklist before the scholarship deadline. We need this information to check with the Office of Financial Aid and ensure the scholarship won't impact your regular aid.
