Travelling and branching out beyond your local community is an enriching experience. Here at WanderPig we know from first-hand experience how rewarding it can be to study abroad and experience a new culture and environment.

Sadly, not everyone can afford to travel or to enrol into a study abroad program without financial struggle in making it happen. WanderPig doesn’t think that this is fair and so for those who are eager to explore the world but can’t due to financial constraints, we want to give you a helping hand.

We have created a Study Abroad Scholarship to give Students who need it, a cash boost towards their study abroad adventures.

This is our second time offering this type of Scholarship. We had a great response to our last one which ended in May 2017.  If there is a large response to this year’s award, we hope to open it up to more students per year by offering it twice a year or to more than one student. The responses to this year’s process has definitely proved to use there is a need for more help for students and aspiring travelers.
