While anyone can do a gap year, oftentimes, gap year scholarships are geared towards current high school students and recent graduates, or current college students. Since a gap year is traditionally for those bridging high school and higher education experiences, many awards are dedicated to this age of travelers rather than career breakers.
But fear not, non-traditional gap year takers! If you’re in between jobs or just need a break from the monotony of life—but aren’t currently an undergraduate student or teenager—there are also loads of travel scholarships available for you to peruse, too.
Being enrolled in a formal gap year program is a great way to increase your chances of winning funding for your trip abroad. Instead of “finding yourself” in a solo travel year, choose a program that will help you accomplish bigger-picture goals. (Not to knock indie travel, but this isn’t always the type of experience scholarship committees are looking for in candidates).
It’s time to apply for (and win, duh!) travel scholarships for gap year seekers!
