Scholarships and Fundraising

WorldStrides believes that every child, regardless of background, should have access to the wonder of educational travel. We are pleased to share a number of scholarships, grants, and fundraising ideas that will help you finance your child’s travel program.

Scholarship Opportunities
Our most popular scholarship program is the FLAG (Future Leaders of American Government) Scholarship program, offering $1 million in travel assistance to thousands of families each year. Families with an annual adjusted gross income (AGI) up to $85,000 are invited to complete a confidential, easy application to receive travel assistance funds. The scholarship program is supported by a grant from the FLAG Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, and supplemented by funds from WorldStrides. Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Find out more at FlagFound.org.

Fundraising
Many students work individually and with the help of their communities in order to raise money for their WorldStrides program. Families, friends, and neighbors can rally behind the opportunity to send your child on the trip of a lifetime. The most successful individual fundraising effort WorldStrides students use are Gift of Education letters, but there is no limit to the creative ways you and your child can work together to contribute to their travels.
