Tortuga Backpacks: Tortuous Backpacks Study Abroad Scholarship

Young people deserve to experience the world beyond their college campuses, but not everyone can afford to travel, especially if you’re on a student budget.


The Tortuga Backpacks Study Abroad Scholarship is awarded biannually to passionate students who want to explore the world.

Organization details

The founders of Tortuga Backpacks, Fred and Jeremy, experienced the transformative power of travel on a backpacking trip to Eastern Europe. Frustrated by their luggage options, they started their own backpack company.
