What are student travel programs?

Student travel programs are exactly like what they sound like...young students can sign up for a program to take them across all corners of the world! Most have some type of educational component, such as language immersion if it’s somewhere with a different language or a cultural class to engage students more, but the focus is on traveling and exploring. Because meaningful travel has become so popular, there are student travel programs for high school students that focus on one specific country and there are others that take students to multiple countries. Whatever your preference, there’s a program out there for you!

[ Get matched with student travel programs like...yesterday]

Who can do student travel programs.

Students, of course! Namely, YOU. Whether you’re currently in high school or looking to take a gap year in between high school and college , there are tons of options! Most student travel programs for high school students require that you are enrolled somewhere and have above a 2.5 GPA, but the requirements are pretty lax besides that. Depending on the specific provider and location, there may be language requirements or courses that need to be completed before departure, so check each program carefully!

[Save and compare your favorite student travel programs with MyGoAbroad ]

Can i find student travel programs in europe.

Yup, all over the world, in fact! From student travel programs in Europe (think Norway ) to programs all the way in southeast Asia (hello Thailand !), there are opportunities in areas as remote or as cosmopolitan as you can imagine! Whether you’re looking for a traditional travel program or something more unique, trust us when we say there are so many different options that you won’t know what to do with yourself!

4. American Farm School

Get ready to get down and dirty with some farm animals! (No, not really…) Since 1904, the American Farm School has focused on the agricultural needs of Greece and the Balkans, and in 1970 created the Greek Summer Program. High school students spend a summer living with a family in a rural Greek village, and learn about the importance of agriculture and social issues related to refugees through hands-on experiences. The highlight of the summer is the “Big Trip”, where students participate in an eco-adventure like hiking Mt. Olympus and sailing through island communities and spectacular bays. Sounds much better than studying for the SATs!

You’ll learn to appreciate and—dare I say you might even miss—mom’s nagging after spending time abroad.

Au revoir mom and pop! 

Whether you’re traveling, studying, volunteering, or taking a gap year abroad, any type of international adventure in high school is important! You are never too young to take the plunge into overseas travel, and if there is an additional component that makes it more meaningful such as taking a class or helping an underprivileged community, then all the more reason to go. 

So, escape those nagging parents and pressure-cooker schools by taking your studies and experiences out into the real world. We all know you’ll learn more by spending a summer traveling through South America than you will by taking a minimum wage job at the Tastee Freeze!

What makes a trip to Europe with TFT special?

Authentic meals.

Europe is famous for its the wide variety of cuisine and we eat where the locals eat! We avoid chain restaurants and encourage our groups to try new foods (Yes, that means trying escargot in Paris and the infamous haggis of Scotland!)

Age Specific Tours

We offer trips to Europe for specific age groups. There are tours exclusively for middle school, 9th and 10th graders, and “older teens” finishing 11th and 12th grade. Each tour is uniquely designed to be age appropriate.

Central Accommodation

Other companies cut costs by staying outside the city center, but we stay right in the middle of the action! Our hotels are always carefully chosen for a great and safe location that allows us to maximize our time exploring and feel more like a local.

Unparalleled Experience

Did you know TFT started running tours to Europe over 20 years ago? Since then Europe has become one of our most popular destinations, and we offer more trips to Europe and visit more countries than any other teen travel company!

Air Canada Student Flight Pass

Going off to college or university can be an exciting time of life, with many new experiences to be had and new places to explore.

For those who plan to travel during school — be it for a study abroad program, an alternative spring break, a fun trip with friends or just to head home during school breaks — the cost of flying can be prohibitive. However, a number of airlines offer special deals on student flights to make travel more accessible.

Here is a list of airlines that offer student flight discounts for young people traveling around North America and beyond.

Instead of offering discounts on individual tickets, Air Canada offers a Student Flight Pass for students traveling frequently within the Americas. It also offers an International Student Flight Pass for those planning to travel frequently with more distant destinations.

You can either buy a pass outright or pay it off over nine months (with interest). The pass, coupled with your Aeroplan frequent flyer account number, scores you four to six flight credits (depending on the destination) to use over a specified amount of time, usually 12-15 months. You will have to choose a specific zone in which to fly (like the Western U.S., Alberta or Brazil).

One credit is valid for one one-way flight.

Make sure the pass covers travel to and from your preferred destinations. You will need to plan to fly with Air Canada at least as many times as your pass is good for or the investment won’t be worth it.

You have to be a student in one of the airline’s participating regions (which includes the U.S. and Canada) and traveling out of specific airports to take advantage of Cathay Pacific’s student flight discounts.

Eligible student travelers will:

Get access to exclusive fares to some destinations and select fare categories.

An extra baggage allowance.

Free flight changes for Flex fare classes.

Exclusive rates for Light and Essential classes.

The discount is good for one-way and round-trip flights to specific destinations, plus it can be used to book a seat in economy, economy plus or business class.

Just remember to include your Cathay number on your booking, use the relevant discount code listed online and bring a valid form of student ID when you check in at the airport or you won’t get the discount.

There are limited booking windows for flight discounts for students on Cathay Pacific (for example, in 2024, you must book by April 4 for travel through April 2025 if flying out of the U.S. or Canada).

Before you book, check the website for more details and keep an eye out for future dates.

Air France works a little differently when it comes to cheap flights for students. You’ll still have to prove that you’re a student with a valid student card, proof of enrollment or an admission letter at check-in, but you’ll mostly search for flights on the website as usual — except under “passengers,” make sure to select “student.”

When flight results appear, the student rate, if it’s available, will be in the first column. Prices will vary, but on the upside, the student rate always gets two free checked bags, and you’ll be able to change your flight for no additional fee.

Many eligible trips have to be at least 21 days long; however, there are a few flight options from France to specific destinations that have to be only seven days long.

Unlike with most airlines, the discount offered by Iberia is open to anyone under 30, even if you’re not a student (with additional benefits for those studying abroad).

If that’s you, check to see if Iberia Joven, the discount program for students, offers flights to where you’re headed. If it does, you may be able to score a 10% discount on certain flights and an extra free checked bag if you’re studying abroad.

Just make sure you book on the Iberia Joven site specifically, and know that not all routes are included and the discount is only for the lowest economy fares.

Lufthansa also offers flight discounts for students who book on the airline website. The discounts are valid only for certain flights from select countries, but in addition to fare savings on travel that qualifies, students get more checked baggage allowances and flexible booking.

To take advantage of these fares, you have to be at least 16 and enrolled in some sort of higher education. You'll have to verify your status as a student on the airline website. Then, when you search for fares, just remember to select “Student” to see any applicable discounts.

If you’re a student flying on Turkish Airlines, whether or not you’re a Turkish citizen, you can get up to a 20% discount on domestic flights within Turkey and 15% on international flights.

Students also enjoy a 40-kilogram baggage allowance (about 88 pounds) on flights that charge by weight and two 23-kilogram (about 50-pound) bags on flights that charge by piece. Students get free one-time flight changes for international flights, plus 25% more miles credited to your Miles&Smiles account when you fly before the end of 2024.

To get the discount, verify that you’re a student in the “Discount Types” section on the “My Personal Information” page in your Miles&Smiles loyalty account. Then just select the “Student” passenger option when searching for and booking flights.

Students flying to Emirates’ 250 destinations can score up to a 10% discount on economy and business class fares, plus an extra 10 kilograms (about 22 pounds) or an extra piece of luggage (except when flying to the U.S. or Canada).

Use code STUDENT in the promotional code box to book, then make sure you bring proof that you’re a student to check in.

This special is available only to students ages 16 to 31, and as of this writing, you have to book by March 31, 2024. Act fast and keep an eye on the airline for future deals if you’re a student planning travel to one of Emirates’ destinations.

Students flying on Singapore Airlines can enjoy a 10% discount on Lite, Value or Standard fares in economy class or premium economy class. They also get an extra luggage allowance, which is based on destination, and waived change fees the first time they need to alter their flight.

To enjoy these perks, first join the airline’s KrisFlyer loyalty program . Then you’ll be asked to verify that you’re a student, which you’ll need to do once a year. Then, when it’s time to search for flights, log in and do so on the airline’s dedicated student page. If you are younger than 16, you will not be able to verify your student status online.

SAS offers discounts not just for students, but youth in general, which includes individuals ages 12 to 25. The availability of these discounted fares on any particular flight is limited, and it’s reserved for SAS Go (standard economy) bookings for specific fare classes.

While no student ID is required, travelers will need to prove their age, so make sure to bring along a valid ID. Keep in mind that unaccompanied minors cannot book an SAS Youth Ticket.

There aren’t a lot of extra perks that accompany a Youth Ticket, and SAS doesn’t state how much you can save, but it’s worth searching to find out.

If you’re a student enrolled in higher education ages 18 to 30 and planning travel to any of Qatar Airways’ many destinations, it’s likely worth it to join the airline’s Student Club.

You’ll have to enroll online and share passport and university details, but once you do, you’ll be provided with a unique code to use during booking that will net you a discount.

That code will score you a 10% discount on your first flight, after which you’ll receive a new code for a 15% discount on your second booking and 25% off your third.

Students also get an additional baggage allowance, one complimentary date change for a booked flight and free Super Wi-Fi when you book on the airline website.

You can even fast-track your elite status once you graduate if you fly with Qatar at least once a year. The codes are valid only for Qatar-operated flights.

If you’re a college student, about to be a college student or — in the case of a few airlines — just qualify as a “youth,” you may be able to score some rich discounts and other benefits from a number of airlines.

Just make sure to take note of any special requirements from your preferred airline, sign up for loyalty programs in advance if necessary and enjoy the savings (plus a bit of extra baggage in many cases).

8 Tricks to Cheap Student Travel

travel for students

As the days grow longer and the weather warmer, a tremor of excitement passes through college campuses: Summer vacation is on its way. Soon, students will be swapping books for plane tickets and getting ready to explore outside the classroom. However, as all you parents know, a summertime getaway can cost a pretty penny.

With help from Clem Bason, president of the Hotwire Group , U.S. News Travel has come up with some clever ways for students to go big on a small budget.

Students may think they're free of homework for the next few months, but the key to staying on budget is diligent research. Before reaching the booking stage, students should have a general idea of how much they can expect to pay for flights and hotel rooms. That way, they'll be able to recognize a great deal when they see one. Many tools, like Hotwire's Trip Watcher , help travelers save money by tracking travel trends and notifying users of price changes. Students should also sign up for travel deal newsletters like those circulated by Travel-Ticker and Travelzoo . According to Bason, these deal sites "distribute exclusives and flash-sale opportunities directly to your inbox, making it easy for the on-the-go student to save big." Just make sure to check your email regularly, since these deals tend to go quickly. Students can also nab discounts on the fly by following deal-oriented companies on Twitter or Facebook.

There are thousands of websites out there touting the lowest rates around, but only a few cater specifically to students. STA Travel and Student Universe are renowned for delivering fantastic experiences for very little coin. Both sites offer package deals and discounts on all aspects of travel—from airfare to tours—exclusively to students who can verify their university enrollment. These resources are also jam-packed with money-saving tips and advice from fellow student globe-trotters.

Students with looser travel plans are more likely to score lower rates on airfare and hotels than those with plans set in stone. Rather than choosing a specific destination right off the bat, Bason suggests that students focus on the type of vacation they want, like a beach getaway or a city trip. And by not committing to specific dates at the initial research stage, students open themselves up to a wider selection of travel deals. "Even a day or two's worth of shifting on your departure or arrival dates can make a big difference on price," he says.

Airfare has skyrocketed over the past few years, and it doesn't show any signs of dropping (at least not in time for summer). For students who prefer to fly, discount airlines, such as Southwest and Europe's RyanAir, offer cheap airline tickets, but note that they can nickel-and-dime you with additional fees. Travelers sticking to a strict budget should also consider bus and train travel. Bus companies—like Megabus, Boltbus, RedCoach, and Lux Bus America—provide inexpensive and efficient service to many major cities throughout the United States. Train travel is also picking up speed among students and other frugal travelers. This mode of transit is a common (and affordable) way to get around popular regions, such as Europe, Asia, and even here in the States. In fact, "Traveling by train from point A to B is one of the quickest and safest ways to see the United States, especially if you are looking to travel across several states," explains Sarah Munley, director of sales and marketing for the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad .

Discounts for student travelers abound in almost every country, with thousands of museums, parks, and historical sites offering reduced admission rates for the young and learning. But as those who pay attention to Trick 1 will learn, student-oriented travel sites are also a great resource for deals on guided tours, hostels, and eateries. Also, the purchase of an International Student Identity Card will help students nab discounts even without the help of the Internet. International Student IDs are widely recognized in 120 countries throughout the world, granting holders access to a wide variety of discounts at hotels, restaurants, tours, and individual attractions. Any full-time student age 12 or older can obtain an International Student ID. Meanwhile, the International Youth Travel Card —which offers similar perks—is available to anyone under age 26, student or not.

Parents, you can now frame your support for the buddy system in a new light: It's a cheaper way to travel. Aside from splitting the cost of a hotel room, students who bring friends along for the ride can save big by booking group travel. Travel sites, like STATravel.com and StudentUniverse.com, offer massive discounts on flights, hotels, and tours to students traveling in a group of 10 to 12 or more. Using the handy planning tools found on these sites, students can get a general idea of how much the entire trip is going to cost, which facilitates better budgeting.

Hotel stays can eat up a large chunk of a travel budget, but the advantage that students generally have over seasoned travelers is their ability to sleep just about anywhere. If that's the case, opting for a shared hostel room is a great way to conserve cash and meet fellow explorers. Despite the seedy reputation that hostels carry with older, better-funded travelers, hostels are generally clean and safe (but it's always a good idea to check the reviews on sites like TripAdvisor , Hostels.com , or HostelWorld before booking.) If staying in a hostel doesn't sound appealing, couch-surfing is another way to go. International websites such as CouchSurfing and AirBnB connect budget-minded travelers with locals who are willing to lend their spare bedrooms (and couches) to passers-through. These gracious hosts can also act as a great resource for information about the destination.

According to Bason, some student-oriented travel sites (including STATravel.com) offer scholarships to fund trips. But this isn't the only way to pad otherwise lacking funds. Applying to one of these programs could add a few hundred or several thousand dollars to the budget, but students will have to prove that their trip has educational merit. Other organizations—including the Smithsonian Institution , the Student Youth Travel Association , and National Geographic —also provide financial support to poor, ambitious voyagers-to-be.

Graduate Student Travel Grant Details

How we manage and utilize travel grants.

  • A maximum of $500.00 for student graduate project research dissemination or conference attendance will be awarded.
  • Only one student per project may be funded with the award.
  • Funds for the year will be distributed in the fall semester from September through November and in the spring and summer semesters from January through May, with approximately $3,500 awarded each semester.
  • If travel funding requests are below the available amount, unused funds from a given month will roll over to the following month or semester.
  • If requested funds exceed the available monthly amount, grants will be prorated.

Travel restrictions and requirements

  • No rental cars, mileage or ride shares, per diem requests, or fuel expenses are allowed. Retroactive expenses such as luggage fees or room charges.
  • Faculty mentor expenses will not be funded.
  • Registration, airfare, and hotel fees must be purchased on the Office of Graduate Studies p-card.  

Refund policy

The student guarantees participation in their conference or is otherwise obligated to return the total stipend amount within 30 days.   Students are responsible for seeking refunds for any conference registration, hotel, or airfare charges from external parties. We recommend purchasing trip insurance. The Office of Graduate Studies purchases refundable tickets and hotel reservations but will not cover luggage fees.

Apply early to get ahead of the student visa peak.

Applying for your visa at least 3 months before your intended travel date gives you the best chance to have a decision made in time for 2025 study.

The processing of student visas is a priority for us, particularly as we get closer to the end of the year peak.

We are getting ready for the summer processing peak, which begins in October each year. Applications take longer to be decided during this peak period so it is important that anyone who is wanting to come to New Zealand to study in early 2025 applies early.

We recommend students apply at least 3 months before their intended travel date to give them the best chance of having their application decided in time. Processing times for international student visa applications are published on our website and are updated every month.

Visa processing times for international students

Some students will not be able to apply 3 months ahead as they may be waiting on key study documentation. These students should apply as soon as they have the documents they need, but they need to be aware that late applications may not be processed in time for them to start studying.

Students must submit all the information needed when they apply. Our student visa information sheets have more information on what to include with a student visa application.

Student visa information

Due to the high volume of visa applications expected, we will not be able to contact students if documents are missing from their visa application. If information is missing that we need to assess an application, the application may be declined.
