Scholarships

We firmly believe that financial limitations should not prevent a qualified student from participating in an IES Abroad program--this is why we commit more than $2 million each year to our financial and scholarship programs.

To be eligible for any IES Abroad aid, you must apply to and attend an IES Abroad program and your home school must be a Member or Associate Member of the IES Abroad Consortium [1]. In addition, your home school must have a policy of transferring at least 75% of institutional aid for study abroad.

Testimonial

“I cannot fully express my gratitude for the IES South America Scholarship. During a time of economic uncertainty, when my father lost his job and my college education became increasingly more burdensome, IES helped me go on a life-changing adventure.” ~Hope Nardini, IES Buenos Aires
