Scholarships and Financial Aid for Study Abroad

ALL TYPES of financial aid may be applied to IUPUI- and IU-sponsored programs.   Departmental scholarships may also be available for you to use toward study abroad. We strongly encourage you to check with your school and department administrators for the most recent scholarship information.

Graduate Study Abroad Scholarships

Summer financial aid is usually in the form of loans, grants, or scholarships. For summer study abroad, you must register for at least 6 credits over both summer sessions.

PLEASE NOTE: Summer loans and applicable scholarships are not disbursed until the beginning of the respective summer term. Be prepared to make certain program payments in advance. Contact your financial aid advisor early to determine your loan eligibility and make sure your financial aid application is current.

Priority deadline is March 1.

Regular financial aid eligibility criteria apply (e.g., loan maximum, minimum number of credit hours), but your loan application is based on an expanded budget, which includes the airfare and the costs of living overseas.

Some financial aid will NOT apply to co-sponsored programs through IU (e.g., IES, CIEE). These include fee courtesy, Indiana Higher Education awards, fee remissions, assistance to children of disabled veterans.

You must submit a Credit Transfer Agreement for non-IU and non-IUPUI programs (i.e., programs which only award transfer credits) before you are eligible to receive financial aid. You must also enroll in an appropriate transfer credit course.

For additional scholarship and financial aid assistance, contact the Office of Student Scholarships and your own school or department, who may have scholarships you can use for study abroad.
