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.

Earn a referral bonus and save

Refer someone who goes on to book a GVI program and we’ll give you a cash bonus of up to cad1050 (or your currency equivalent). We’ll also give them up to cad1050 (or their currency equivalent) off their program fee! T&Cs apply.

Combo discount for double impact

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 — cad475 off the program fee of the first program you’ll be joining.

National scholarship program for locals

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.
