How to Apply to United Planet
Sigma Beta Delta students are eligible to apply for a scholarship through ACHS’s partnership with United Planet. This scholarship helps fund a Volunteer Quest—an immersive experience that includes a volunteer project, cultural activities, and language lessons, all designed to foster meaningful connections and positive impact within local communities.
After submitting an application, students will receive a link to schedule a Zoom call. Please note that completing this step is required for the application to proceed.
Program fees are the responsibility of the volunteer and vary by destination and duration. Full details on costs and inclusions can be found under “Quest Fees and Details” on each country page, or in the Program Fees Overview.
