Eligible Exchange Award Destinations

Starting May 2025, we’re introducing a new approach to how 360 International Exchange Awards are allocated.

Previously, students nominated to partner universities in Europe, the UK (excluding London), Asia, Latin America, or Australia were automatically considered for an award. Award values varied by region and were allocated based on GPA. Due to limited funding, only students with a GPA above 6.5 or 7.0 typically received an award—often those attending their first-choice university.

To encourage exploration of a wider range of partner institutions, we will now prioritize awards for students nominated to one of the selected universities listed below. This change aims to broaden exchange opportunities and promote engagement with some of our lesser-known but high-quality partners. 

The Exchange Award value for students nominated for an exchange to a partner university listed below is $2,500. Where there are more applicants than exchange awards available,  the final nominations may be determined by academic standing.  Note that the list of priority exchange partners is subject to change for each future semester. 

Please see the 360 International Exchange Award page for full Regulation details.
