Weekend Student Adventures (WSA) has created the Cultural Bridge Scholarship that allows students the incredible, enriching opportunity to study abroad in Europe. All American undergraduate students with plans to study abroad in Europe are encouraged to apply. WSA Europe will award scholarships based on financial need, passion, and merit. The scholarship is intended to alleviate the stress and take you one step closer towards your goal. 1-5 students will be selected, and each will get $500 award amount.

The mission of Weekend Student Adventures is to foster fun, respectful, in-depth and unforgettable travel experiences for budget backpackers and students.
