Study away students are supported from the beginning of the process until the end. The PFW Study Away Advisors help start your study away journey. Then ISEP Advisors, our study away partners, will take over once you have arrived to the host country. Each university has their own home office as well, which can provide additional assistance if needed. 

During your first study away information meeting, the study away advisor will provide a list of possible scholarships. Additional scholarships are available through the PFW ScholarshipUniverse portal.
