Student Ambassador Scholarships

The Student Ambassador Scholarship is a needs and merit based scholarship for $500 USD to assist students with the program fees associated with Ceiba’s Study Abroad Programs. The scholarship can be used for additional fees such as required gear, vaccinations and flight ticket purchases.

Student Ambassadors are responsible for submitting 1X social media posts (reels, posts, stories) once a month during the semester in a “collaborative social media takeover” on Ceiba’s social media account (ceibafoundation). Student Ambassadors are free to collaborate with other students, instructors or staff to obtain content for social media. 

Student Ambassador Application Form:

The form below includes questions about scholarship needs, experience and interest in communications in addition to asking you to create a sample post using a photo from past study abroad programs.

Post descriptions should be between 75-100 words. Indicate which photo you selecting and imagine you’re a student on this trip, then use your creativity to develop a description or story behind the photo! We’re less concerned with getting specific details right about what actually happened in the photo and more interested in reading engaging content. Feel free to check out Ceiba’s social media to see examples of content we’ve posted (ceibafoundation).
