Are you still in high school, wanting to study abroad? For many students, the big thing with studying abroad is simply PAYING for it. I thought it might be of use to post a list of scholarships for high schoolers. These are scholarships to various countries, for various durations. (If you can't miss school - consider applying for a scholarship to study abroad for the summer!). Most are full scholarships, but please read the websites carefully to see if you're eligible, and what exactly the scholarship covers.
These are all very well known programs with really good reputations - meaning, this isn't a sketchy list. These are well established trips run by the most well-known, well-established institutions. Many of them are funded by the United States State Department. With that in mind, I've only done NSLI-Y and UWC, and cannot personally attest to any of these other programs.
(Thanks to the help of the NSLI-Y Applicants Facebook group for this information and the compilation of this list)
(These are scholarships for US students. If you're not from the US, and are interested in studying in the US, check out http://exchanges.state.gov/. This site has information for US students wanting to study abroad as well).
NSLI-Y: full scholarships to study critical languages or either a summer or a year, in various countries where the language is spoken.
