Experience Abroad Travel Grants

The grants, made available through the Career Ready Experience Abroad Fund (EAF), are designed to support costs associated with student participation in study or work abroad learning opportunities.
The available funds are not expected to cover all expenses that will be incurred by a student participating in these opportunities. The Office of Experiential Learning experience abroad travel grants are available to all University of Windsor Students who are in good standing who will be completing a University of Windsor Study Abroad Course or who will be working abroad (outside of Canada) as part of their University of Windsor Co-operative Education or Internship placement.
