For the fifth year in a row, IES Abroad is participating in #GivingTuesday—a global day of giving. On November 27th, join us as we set out to raise funds for IES Abroad Scholarships, increasing access to study abroad.

Last year, we raised more than $23,000 for the IES Abroad Scholarship Fund, which made it possible for more students to make their study abroad dreams a reality. This year, our goal is to inspire 250 gifts in 24 hours—100% for scholarships for students with financial need to study and intern abroad next year.

All gifts, no matter the amount, will create access to the life-changing opportunities that study abroad provides. Save the date and make your tax-deductible gift on November 27th on our #GivingTuesday fundraising page.

Why give? Well, we have 27 reasons for you:

  1. Open the door to a world of opportunity for more students in 2019
  2. Scholarships change lives. Check out our album 27 Days | 27 Stories for #GivingTuesday to see how
