Undergraduate Financial Aid
IPSL accepts all forms of financial aid approved by your home university. Don't have a home university?
Email us to discuss your options!
​
FINANCIAL AID: Under federal law, U.S. students can receive federal financial aid (such as Pell Grants and Stafford Loans) for study abroad if their home institution has approved the program for credit. Many students are able to apply some or all of their financial aid toward the cost of IPSL programs. Undergraduates should consult with the financial aid and/or study abroad office, at their home institution, to determine whether or not financial aid, scholarships and/or other support received from the home institution will qualify toward an IPSL program. Federal law also states that financial aid can cover all "reasonable" costs for a study abroad program, including tuition and fees for the program; round-trip transportation; living costs; passport and visa fees; and health insurance.

If IPSL is an approved program at your institution, you should be able to remain registered at your home institution, apply federal financial aid toward the program, and receive transfer credit for courses you successfully complete.
​
-
If IPSL is not a pre-approved program at your home institution, find out what information is required. We are happy to complete consortia/contractual agreements from the home institution and provide administrators and faculty with additional information about the programs.
OTHER FUNDING OPTIONS:
SCHOLARSHIPS: The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship and the David L. Boren Graduate Fellowships are a good fit for IPSL programs but are only two of many options available.
