Honors Study Abroad

Hicks Honors College students have two (2) opportunities funded to study abroad thanks to our Foundation Donors. In addition, study abroad programs often count towards an Honors student's upper-level Honors curriculum requirements. To receive scholarships from the Hicks Honors College, students must show they are making progress on our Honors College Graduation Requirements

Students should show Honors degree progression, have a current UNF GPA of 3.20 or greater to receive funding. Students must continue to show Honors degree progression before they are offered funding for a second tripFunding must fit within your cost of attendance.

All students studying abroad must register with the UNF International Center to receive funding.

To receive funding from the Hicks Honors College's study abroad scholarship, students should apply for funding in Scholarship Universe (more details to come).

 *Hicks Honors College students are currently eligible to apply for scholarships for spring and summer 2025 UNF-sponsored study abroad trips.

Faculty-led Programs 

One of the most popular study abroad options at UNF are our faculty-led programs. These programs are ideal for students who do not want to study abroad for a full semester but still want to experience a foreign country and culture. 

In addition, most faculty-lead programs allow students to earn at least 3 UNF credit hours.

There are several other opportunities outside of faculty-led programs for students who want to study abroad at UNF. Some include:

  • UNF semester exchange programs
  • Enrolling as a transient student at another Florida university to make use of a different study abroad program
  • 3rd party programs (not eligible for UNF or Hicks Honors College funding, but you can apply for external funding)
  • International internships, research, or conferences
