Mission in Motion: Empowering Global Citizens

Give Now


At IES Abroad, our mission is always in motion—propelled by students who dare to dream, alumni who lead with global perspective, and supporters like you who believe in the power of international education.

On May 15, 2025, we're calling on our entire community to come together for 24 powerful hours of giving to support the next generation of global changemakers. When you give, you’re not just making study abroad possible—you’re fueling a movement.

“Studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa this past summer was an amazing experience of personal growth for me. I was able to immerse myself in a completely different culture and learned to conquer new challenges, develop a worldly perspective, and emerge in a journey of self-discovery. ”

Your Impact Ripples Outward

Student Programs

Financial aid for study abroad tuition is vital, but it is often not enough. This year, we are raising funds for comprehensive aid to help students fund the gap for books, fees, travel, and special experiences. This wrap-around support will ensure that our scholarship students get to take advantage of the full IES Abroad experience, without restriction.

Travel Stipends

For many students, scholarships alone aren’t enough to make study abroad possible. That’s where travel stipends come in—providing essential support for airfare, visa fees, books, and cultural activities. Your gift helps bridge the financial gap, turning the dream of studying abroad into a reality. With your support, students can fully engage in their global experience—without worrying about what they can’t afford.
