Description: The purpose of specialized study scholarships is to encourage students with focused areas of study to participate in an international experience. NYU offers unique curriculum at each site that meet many requirements for majors or minors not traditionally found in study abroad programs and seeks to aid students from colleges or universities other than NYU, who are interested in these programs, to meet the financial obligations the program imposes.

Students should only apply for a specialized subject area if they plan on enrolling in at least two courses listed in that subject heading while studying abroad, or participate in the specific activity in the case of Community Service and Italian Immersion.
