Scholarships & Aid Designed With You in Mind

From need-based aid to scholarships for specific majors, IES Abroad's study abroad scholarships are designed with your financial goals and needs in mind.

Our universal aid application allows you to apply for all IES Abroad scholarships and aid at one time. From there, we do the work to match you with the best funding option possible, including grants, scholarships, aid, and more. We're all about helping you focus on the experience you'll have on an IES Abroad program, not just how you'll pay for it.
