About The Scholar Ship:
The Scholar Ship is a semester-long academic program aboard a dedicated

Students and staff from around the world come together to form a
transnational learning community designed to develop their intercultural
competence and leadership skills.
The Scholar Ship is an international education initiative developed in
collaboration with seven international universities and a host of
multinational organizations. The program's Consortium of Academic
Stewards collaborates on the quality oversight and accreditation of all
academic offerings and standards. Academic programs offered by The
Scholar Ship meet the same quality standards as those on the campuses of
the Consortium's member institutions: Al Akhawayn University (Morocco),
Cardiff University (UK), Fudan University (China), Macquarie University
(Australia), Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), University of
California, Berkeley (USA), and University of Ghana (Ghana).

Scholarships will be awarded to students with a demonstrated record of
academic achievement and community leadership. Interested students
meeting this criteria may complete a Letter of Interest and essay,
describing how their participation onboard The Scholar Ship will be of
