At IES Abroad, we believe we can change the world, one student at a time. When students are exposed to new ideas, their cultural competence grows. Their understanding of themselves and the world around them changes—and they bring home new, global perspectives and expanded empathy. And those students, alumni, and supporters—you—become change makers, igniting positive transformation in the world around us.

“This scholarship has been instrumental in shaping my worldview and fostering personal growth. The opportunities and connections made during my time abroad would not have been possible without their belief in the value of education and cultural exchange. I extend my deepest gratitude for enabling this invaluable chapter of my academic and personal development, and I am committed to carrying forward the spirit of support and empowerment in my future endeavors.”
Kaytlyn M. (IES Abroad Nantes | Fall 2023)

Scholarships

At IES Abroad, we believe that every student deserves the chance to experience the transformative power of studying abroad. However, financial barriers can often stand in the way. Your contribution to our scholarship fund opens doors for deserving students, providing them with the opportunity to explore new cultures, broaden their horizons, and develop crucial skills for success in an interconnected world.

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, the dream of studying abroad hinges on the availability of stipends to cover expenses such as airfare, visas, and cultural excursions. Your support enables us to offer stipends that bridge the gap between aspiration and reality, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent talented individuals from embarking on life-changing study abroad experiences.
