To help offset the costs of participation, a limited number of awards are available to students based on financial need and engagement in AWOL.
All accepted participants and site-leaders may apply for scholarships. Awards may range year to year but are generally from $25-50 for participants and $75-$125 for site-leaders depending on funding and the number of applicants. Please note that awards are a standard amount and we are unable to award larger amounts to accommodate the higher cost of the international alternative breaks.
To apply, complete the appropriate Google Form using the links below. If the application is not open, please check with your site leader or contact awol@usd.edu for open and close dates.
