Upcoming Website Maintenance

This Tuesday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will be down for scheduled site maintenance. During this time login and account creation will be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

One Application. Endless Opportunities.

Submit an application, and we'll let you know which of our study abroad scholarship and aid options you qualify for. We'll send an email within five business days detailing how much, if any, need-based aid you will receive as well as a list of any scholarships you will be considered for. Approximately six weeks after the scholarship and aid deadline, we'll notify you of your final aid package.

Our Funding Options

IES Abroad offers a variety of study abroad scholarship and aid options. The High-Impact Aid Commitment Program furthers IES Abroad’s commitment to increasing access and equity within study abroad. Our fresh approach to financial aid focuses on funding transparency and supporting students with financial need. You will be considered for all of the below funding when you submit an aid application, with the exception of the Disability Grant, which requires a separate application.

Need-Based Aid

Even before you've applied to or been admitted to your program, you can apply for need-based aid. Within five business days, we'll let you know how much aid you can plan on receiving from us to help inform your study abroad or internship decision. Funds are limited, apply early! Eligibility criteria apply.
