​What is F.A.E?

The Fall Abroad Experience is largely a scholarship program to help incentivize participation in a Fall study abroad experience! 

Who can participate?

The Fall Abroad Experience (F.A.E) is open to GW students who meet the following criteria:

• Are in good judicial and academic standing (2.00+ cumulative GPA)
• Have completed 45 credit hours by the time of departure
• Plan on studying abroad during a fall semester, including academic year students (though benefits will only be applicable to the Fall semester)

Yes, students can certainly study abroad in the fall without participating in F.A.E.  However, this program offers many benefits only available to F.A.E participants.

Students apply to F.A.E via GW Passport.  Interested students should keep the following deadlines in mind:

• March 15: F.A.E. application opens on GW Passport
• May 15: Application Deadline to apply for the F.A.E. benefits

• To apply, please click on "Apply Now" at the top of this page to open your application. 
• Once your application has all boxes checked, your F.A.E application is complete.
• You can apply to F.A.E even if you are undecided regarding your study abroad program and/or location.
• The deadline for your study abroad program may be before or after the F.A.E deadline.
• All applicants must also follow the standard study abroad procedures and deadlines to apply for their specific study abroad program including completion of provider applications as well as submission of transcripts, recommendation letters, and any other required documents as specified in the individual applications.
