iVisa Annual Scholarship was created in 2017 with the purpose of helping students while promoting the love for travel and the different cultures around the world.

Our founders are really passionate about travel and understand all the needs travelers may have along the way of processing documents but also have come to realize how important it is to understand each culture around the world in order to provide the best service according to every traveler’s expectations.

With this in mind, our founders created the annual iVisa Scholarship in the hope of promoting among young people the importance of knowing different cultures, understanding, and respecting them. Today, we are proud to announce the 5th edition of the iVisa Annual Scholarship. All participants will be able to apply before the 15th of May, 2021. After this day, scholarship applications will be reviewed and the winner of US$ 1,500 will be announced on the 20th of May, 2021.
