The Spring Semester is a busy time for the Office of International Education (OIE) with many deadlines. OIE is planning for Summer 2021 study abroad and is making alternate plans in the event that Covid-19 continues to be prevalent. If your student is interested in studying abroad in Summer 2021, Fall 2021, or Academic Year 2021-2022, they should submit their application materials by their program deadline. Many deadlines occur in early February. For full details and information, see our website or encourage your student to meet with us. 

With the start of the spring term, the study abroad scholarship season for summer and academic year/fall begins. The OIE Administered Scholarships deadline is February 22, 2021. There are also many Georgia Tech and national study abroad scholarship deadlines which fall in March and April, including: 

• the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships; 
• the Mundy Study Abroad Funds for CEE majors; 
• the Gilman Scholarship for students who receive a Pell Grant; 
• the Freeman ASIA scholarship for students studying in Asia; 

• the Campoamor Scholarships for students studying on an LBAT;

Finally, now is a great time for students to get started on finding a Global Internship for the fall, as the search for summer internships is already in full swing. All Georgia Tech students are eligible to do a Global Internship (this includes: undergraduate and post-graduate students; domestic and international students).
