The Vredenburg Scholarship allows outstanding engineering students at Johns Hopkins to apply their engineering, technology, and applied science skills and training in an international setting. The Scholarship encourages students to broaden their engineering experience by giving them the opportunity to participate in international education, investigation, and collaboration.

- academic experience (research, study abroad)
- internship at a private company, nonprofit organization, or NGO (paid or unpaid)
Projects will be funded to a maximum of $8,000; the typical range of a Vredenburg Scholarship is between $5,500 and $6,500. The Scholarship may be used to defray the costs of tuition, travel, living expenses, and other reasonable expenses associated with the international experience. Financial need will not be a factor in selection of the scholars and funding of the proposals. However, students with demonstrated financial need may be eligible for an additional stipend.
