Have you considered the National Student Exchange

program for a semester or year?

National Student Exchange offers study away at colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Undergraduates can spend a semester or the academic year at another university. If you are interested in new challenges or just need a change of pace, NSE may be for you. NSE has 170+ campuses available for Fall 2025 and Spring 2025. Applications are due by Friday, February 28, 2025. https://nse.org/exchange/apply/

NSE is affordable. Students continue to pay tuition to their home campus while on exchange. Best of all, most financial aid applies.

NSE is accessible. Beyond being affordable, NSE is also accessible. No passport is required (other than Canada-U.S. exchange) and our eligibility requirements are modest.

NSE enhances your academics. NSE students take classes that apply to degree requirements and/or take classes not available at your home campus. Find campuses with your major.

NSE offers adventure. Exchange to a campus different than your own! Experience a large research university or perhaps a small private college. Exchange to a big city campus, a campus near the beach or in the mountains, or a campus in a college town. Exchange to a Multicultural Serving Institution (MSI) including HBCUs, HSIs, and AANAPISIs. Or perhaps check out Puerto Rico or Canada.

Scholarships in the amount of $6000 for exchange to Canada are available for US citizens through the Fulbright Killam Fellowship Program. Killam applications are due January 31, 2025. https://www.fulbright.ca/programs/killam-fellowships/americans
