About Our Scholarship Program

Villa International strives to create a home away from home for residents from around the world, promoting cross-cultural understanding and global connections. 

To ensure that Villa remains accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds, we offer financial aid to assist residents with housing expenses during their time studying, researching, or working in Atlanta. These opportunities are made possible through the generosity of individuals, foundations, and organizations that support Villa.

Currently, we limit scholarship aid to guests facing unforeseen emergency circumstances. Scholarships covering partial to full housing costs, fee waiving, and emergency assistance. These would be awarded to residents staying at Villa International. Priority is given to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, those with demonstrated financial need, those from countries classified by the World Bank as low-income or lower-middle-income based on Gross National Income (GNI), and those who actively contribute to the diverse and inclusive mission of Villa.

Through the support of generous donors, Villa continues to provide a home away from home where international professionals and students can thrive, engage in cultural exchange, and build lasting relationships that extend beyond their time in Atlanta.
