About the scholarship
The Global Explorer Scholarship is the largest award Southern Cross Cultural Exchange offers to Australian high school students. The national scholarship of $15,000 funds a full academic year abroad, covering program fees, flights within the allocated budget and travel insurance.
Recipients live with a carefully screened volunteer host family and attend a local high school in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria or the United States.
Six missions, not just a holiday
Winners complete six structured missions during their exchange: acts of kindness, monthly video reflections, cultural exchange tasks, 20 hours of community service, active social participation and learning a new skill. They return with a medal, a certificate and reference letter, career coaching and a digital record of the year, all of which strengthen university and job applications.
Why schools promote it
An all-inclusive Academic Year exchange is one of the few opportunities that reaches students regardless of family income, and that’s only possible because schools like yours choose to make room for it. Thank you for sharing this with your students and families. A single mention in your newsletter can be the reason a student who never thought this was possible finds out that it is.
