Grants

AIFS Abroad and Global Experiences are committed to Access, Inclusion, Diversity & Equity. As part of this, we have converted several scholarships into automatically awarded grants to eligible students as part of the application process; students do not need to complete a separate scholarship application. As an applicant to one of our programs, you will know before you apply which grants you are eligible/may be eligible to receive. Grants include the following:

• Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) Grant – $500 grant for students attending a Minority Serving Institution
• Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Grant – $500 grant for students attending a Historically Black College or University
• Pell Grant Eligible – $500 grant for students who receive the Pell Grant
• Gilman Recipient Grant – $500 grant for students who receive the Gilman Award
• FEA Recipient Grant – $500 grant for students who receive a Fund for Education Abroad scholarship
• Boren Recipient Grant – $500 grant for students who receive the Boren Award
• U.S. Veterans Grant – $500 grant for students who receive GI Bill education benefits
• Go Abroad Again with AIFS – $500 grant for students who study or intern abroad again with AIFS Abroad or Global Experiences

Students may receive multiple grants they are eligible for, up to a maximum of $2,500 for a semester study abroad program or $1,500 for a summer, J-term, or internship program. Grants connected with receipt of other awards and scholarships, like Pell Grant, Gilman Award, Boren Award, FEA Scholarship, and GI Bill funding will have a submission area to upload supporting documentation of these.

The scholarships listed below are available to AIFS Study Abroad students enrolling in an overseas university. If you are studying on a customized, faculty-led program through your home institution, these scholarships are not applicable to your program, though you may wish to check with your school regarding any available funding.
