Hostelling International – Austin is offering four $2,000 travel scholarships open to individuals, ages 18-30, who will engage in an educational or service learning component during their trip. The program is called Explore the World, and it’s administered by the nonprofit organization, Hostelling International USA (HI USA). HI USA is committed to creating a more tolerant world, and these scholarships create a whole new breed of young travelers inspired to make the world a better place, but lack the financial means to go abroad. The application deadline is May 15, and the application can be accessed online at https://www.hiusa.org/programs/travel-scholarships.
There will be an open house to learn more about the hosteling experience, travel, and volunteer opportunities on April 29th. More details at https://www.facebook.com/events/1569101043419101/.
