Scholarships

We believe in the career-empowering and life-enriching benefits of engaging in sustainable development projects abroad. This is why we aim to make our high-quality programs as accessible as possible. Helping those who are passionate about making a difference learn about the local context of world issues helps us achieve our mission of building a global network of change-makers.

Refer a friend

You can reduce your program fee by telling a friend about GVI. Simply let them know that you’re looking at joining a GVI program. When you both book, you’ll each earn GBP 500. This can either be used to fund your programs or claimed in cash.

Combo discount

We know it’s difficult choosing just one GVI program to join. For those who can’t decide and would like to join two or more GVI programs, we offer a combination discount — GBP 250 off the program fee of the first program you’ll be joining.

National scholarship program

Local nationals looking to join a GVI program can apply for a National Scholarship. These are open to any local nationals aged 18 years or above who have an interest in the training opportunities of the program and can explain how this opportunity will enrich their future pursuits. Most of these scholarships are used to fund 12-week internship programs.

Returnee scholarships

We know that when GVI participants return home, they often wish they had booked for longer. Fortunately, we offer scholarships to those who’ve recently returned home. GVI alumni who book any GVI Hub program before 31 March 2024 will receive a 50% discount. GVI alumni who book any GVI Flex program before 31 March 2024 will receive a 25% discount. T&Cs apply.
