Sustainability in Study Abroad: Green Scholarships
As environmental awareness grows globally, sustainability has become a defining theme in international education. Universities and organizations are now offering green scholarships — funding opportunities designed to support students who are passionate about climate action, renewable energy, and sustainable development. These programs not only reduce financial barriers but also encourage future leaders to contribute to global environmental solutions.
