STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP
Young people deserve to experience the world beyond their college campuses, but not everyone can afford to travel, especially if you’re on a student budget.
The Tortuga Backpacks Study Abroad Scholarship is awarded biannually to passionate students who
want to explore the world. At Tortuga Backpacks, our mission is to help people take amazing trips, including
students studying abroad. When customers purchase luggage from us for their trips,
they are “paying it forward” by funding scholarships for students like you.
THE SCHOLARSHIP
The winner of the Tortuga Backpacks Scholarship will receive:
- $1,000 scholarship for studying abroad
- 1 Tortuga or Tortuga Air
The scholarship may be used for tuition, room and board, books, or travel. Funds will be sent directly to the winner's study abroad program or university. In cases where this is not possible, alternative arrangements will be made.

To apply for the Tortuga Backpacks Study Abroad Scholarship, you must:
- Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or currently studying in the US on a student visa
