Scholarships

Thanks to alumni and friends of the Junior Year in Munich Program, we're able to provide approximately $65,000 in JYM-sponsored annual scholarships! Due to the provisions of our scholarship funds, nearly all awards are for students in the full-year program.

JYM scholarships

JYM-sponsored scholarships are applied for through the program application. Award decisions are made after the application deadline and individual amounts generally range from $2,000 to $4,000.

General scholarships

Students may apply for these national study-abroad scholarships directly or through their home schools. Scholarships are not only résumé builders writing scholarship applications is good preparation for writing graduate school and job applications. We encourage prospective JYM participants to apply widely.
