In addition to the scholarships to support study abroad (see the study abroad page for more information on scholarships and financial aid), there are a variety of grants available to support international activities such as researching international topics or international instructional development activities. These grants are offered primarily for IU Southeast faculty.
The IU Southeast Business school has had the privilege to receive some considerable support for students' international academic endeavors. We are excited to announce three new scholarship opportunities:
The International Programs Committee considers the following ranked criteria in making its decisions:
Students applying for a scholarship to go on a program in which they have already participated will not be awarded funding. However, this does NOT exclude applicants who want to travel to the same country on a fundamentally different program.
If a scholarship recipient is unable to complete the proposed study abroad program for any reason other than a documented case of extreme emergency, he or she must repay all funds awarded within 30 days of dismissal or withdrawal from the program. This includes, but is not limited to, early dismissal from a program for academic or behavioral reasons.
Students who do not receive a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 for the courses taken on the study abroad program must repay the full amount of the scholarship within 30 days of notification of grades.
Acceptance of this funding obligates students to publicize the opportunities and advantages of overseas study upon their return (such as speaking before a student group or writing an article for the campus paper).

The intent of the CCR Travel Grant is to assist an undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at Indiana University Southeast in a cultural experience that involves direct personal interactions within another culture (e.g. homestay, teaching, conference attendance and/or presentation) beyond those of a guided tour. All majors are welcome to apply. Stronger consideration may be given to applicants pursuing education-related careers and those graduate students who have received his or her bachelor's degree within the past two years. The above are guidelines and not absolute restrictions.
The Gilman Scholarship Program offers awards for undergraduate study abroad and was established by the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000. This scholarship provides awards for U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study abroad programs worldwide.

Who Should Apply
The Gilman Scholarship Program is open to U.S. citizen undergraduate students who are planning to study abroad. The program aims to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go by supporting undergraduates who might otherwise not participate due to financial constraints.
Learn more about eligibility requirements.
When to Apply
The Gilman Scholarship Program accepts applications two times per year. Ideally, students should begin their application one full semester before their study abroad program is scheduled to begin.

Scholarship funds of up to $1,500 can be used to help defray the costs of international travel, lodging, and maintenance for a period of at least 21 days of study or research outside the United States. This scholarship was established by a gift from the Hershberg family and is administered by the World Affairs Council of Kentucky & Southern Indiana, an organization whose mission is to improve intercultural understanding through collaboration, coalition-building, diversified programming, and increased community involvement. A selection committee will evaluate applications on the basis of academic merit and the importance of study abroad for the personal, intellectual, and professional development of the candidate.
Ambassadorial Scholarships are for one academic year abroad and provide funding for round-trip transportation, tuition and fees, room, board, some educational supplies, and language training (if necessary) up to a maximum award of $28,000 or its equivalent.
The IU Office of the Vice President for International Affairs offers an array of grants to encourage faculty from all the IU campuses to engage in international activities. These grants can cover a range of activities including conference attendance, research projects, instructional or curriculum development, and international cooperation projects.
