Deadline: 7 March 2018
Applications are open for IIE Generation Study Abroad Travel Grants that will be made available for U.S. students from a broad range of backgrounds to make it possible for them to participate in academic, internship or service-learning experiences abroad.
The scholarship program is intended to diversify study abroad and to encourage students to go abroad who would otherwise not participate in an international experience as part of their college education, especially in support of high-achieving, low-income students.
The Travel Grants can be used not only for travel to and from the country of study, but also within the region, enabling students to make the most of their international experience.
In this first year, IIE will offer 100 grants of $2,000 per student. The program will provide a resource for Generation Study Abroad Commitment Partners from U.S. colleges and universities who complete their annual progress report as an opportunity to encourage supplementary funds to their students.
Funding Information
