Grants For Traveling The World
Recently, my husband was telling me about how one of his really good friends moved to Fiji for three months to work on a science project on the coral reefs there. I was immediately jealous at first but then started to feel a little sick when I started thinking about how much that would cost! My jaw dropped when he told me that his friend actually got a government grant that paid for it all! I asked him if his friend lied to get the grant, or if he was doing something a little dishonest. But, apparently, the government supports and funds various college study abroad programs. He then went on to tell me how a bunch of his friends went and lived in Tonga for two months to help set up a school for Tongan kids. Believe it or not, a large majority of it was funded by free government grants!!
After I got over my jealousy, I became intrigued at why the government would pay for someone to go swim in the ocean in Fiji for three months. But, it didn’t take me long to realize all the benefits that can arise from college students studying abroad. Medical Students could study abroad and help save countless lives, or give medical attention that would drastically impact a lot of less fortunate people who might have never seen a Dr. in their lives. Not only would this be a terrific and fulfilling thing to do but it would also better the reputation of Americans in General. So, grants for college students seeking to study abroad can actually really help America.
I also thought of students who are studying abroad for science projects or to study a specific field. Yes, the government will give out free government grants for the student to actually do this, but they are getting free research that could be worth millions. I mean, think about all of the amazing things science has done for us thus far. I can’t even imagine how much there is out there waiting to be scientifically discovered. Making just one discovery would be worth the government giving out free government grants, but there is actually another reason the government should give out free government grants to support scientific research: The more research and information we are able to find, the greater competitive advantage America has over all other countries!!
So, after giving it some thought, I decided that I fully condone the government giving out free government grants in order to support Students Traveling the World for various reasons. Whether it be for service, for experimentation, for scientific research, for practice in any given field or whatever else the reason may be, I think it is great that the government invests their money in college students. When I started doing some research on how to apply, I found out that it is easy to apply, and many are approved. You just have to fill out an application and state your purpose of traveling. Good luck!
