Financial support may be a concern for students and their families. Funding resources for experiences can be found at Global Engineering Engagement and Global Programs.
The College of Engineering Travel Grants range from $500 to $2,500 and support students participating in Penn State-approved international programs. All engineers traveling abroad on approved Penn State programs are eligible.
