About Program

EuroScholars is a prestigious semester-long study abroad program designed for talented and highly-motivated undergraduate students looking to participate in international research. ISA and EuroScholars have partnered together to offer this unique program to undergraduates studying in the US or Canada. While the EuroScholars consortium administers the program, ISA manages the recruitment and admissions process for all participants. As a EuroScholars participant, you will join a research team at one of the renowned research universities which make up the EuroScholars consortium.

Once you've been accepted into a research project, you will begin working closely with your EuroScholars host university regarding pre-departure preparations. Your host university contacts (Host Institution Coordinator and Research Project Supervisor) will also be your main/first point of contact regarding your research project and any aspects of your experience abroad!

Yes, I recommend this program

EuroScholars

I found the EuroScholars program to be incredibly beneficial to my academics and overall worldview. The research project I completed was engaging and challenging, and so many of the skills I developed there have directly translated to back in the States. My fellow international students, many of whom were from different programs, were fun and genuine and incredibly diverse. The program support by Usha Mohunlol was extensive and I always knew who to ask for help. Housing could have been of higher quality, but it was satisfactory given the great location and lack of quality housing in my city. I highly recommend the program to anyone who vies research as their desired career.
