IES Abroad (the Institute for the International Education of Students) is pleased to announce several new study abroad scholarship opportunities for U.S. college and university students. New scholarships are available to help make studying abroad possible for students in three categories: students traditionally under-represented in study abroad programs, students participating in the IES Abroad European Union Summer program and students interested in studying in Australia.
“For today’s young adults, study abroad experience is no longer a luxury; it is a priority,” said Mary Dwyer, Ph.D., president and CEO of IES Abroad. “With these new scholarships we move closer to our goal of helping make study abroad a reality for all qualified students, regardless of financial limitations.”
Furthering IES Abroad’s commitment to diversity, the IES Abroad David Porter Diversity Scholarship, named in honor of David Porter, a member of the IES Abroad Board of Directors since 1995, will award up to ,000 to one student per term toward an IES Abroad semester or academic year program. The scholarship is open to students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad programs, including but not limited to, students of color, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender population, students from under-represented religious and ethnic groups, students from low income families, first-generation college students, students with physical disabilities, and students with a demonstrated history of overcoming adversity.
Students interested in studying abroad in Australia can apply for several new IES Abroad scholarships worth up to ,750 per student, per term. In coordination with the University of Adelaide, the University of Melbourne and Macquarie University, the scholarships are available to students with a 3.0 grade point average in addition to other program-specific requirements.
“Applying for and receiving a scholarship was definitely a main factor in my being able to study abroad,” said Lisa Diaz, a nursing major at the University of Portland who participated in the IES Abroad Santiago Summer Health Studies in 2007. “The award helped me keep my costs manageable, which was really important considering my limited financial resources as a student.”
In addition, a new IES Abroad European Union Summer program scholarship also is now available. The scholarship will provide up to 0 per term to one student who can show financial need through their home campus financial aid office.
