Scholarships

Only Tufts University students who are registering for the Tufts in Talloires and/or Tufts in Annecy programs, as well as qualified high school students applying to the Tufts Summit program may apply for a European Center Scholarship.

Factors taken into consideration for scholarship awards include: financial need, academic merit/G.P.A., civic-mindedness, and the actual scholarship application.

Scholarships offered by the Tufts European Center are separate from Financial Aid and are funded by generous gifts from the many alumni and friends of the Tufts European Center.

For Tufts students currently on financial aid, please consult with your financial aid officer to see if you might be eligible for financial aid during the summer.

Students applying for Tufts in Talloires can also apply to be a Hollister Fellow.
