Our quick and easy aid application for study abroad allows you to apply online for nearly all of our scholarship and aid opportunities at once. Plus, with our High-Impact Aid Commitment rolling out for Spring 2025 students and beyond, we make sure that the most aid goes to students with the highest need. 

You can apply at any time – even if you haven't yet started an IES Abroad application for admission – and we'll let you know your need-based aid status within five business days. Just make sure you meet the scholarship and aid application deadline for your term.

We have many different scholarship and aid opportunities and each one has its own eligibility requirements. Use the online aid application below to tell us a bit about yourself and upload the documents described below, which include short answer prompts and current financial aid documentation, so we can determine every scholarship and aid possibility you are eligible for. Some scholarships may require additional materials, which will be requested depending on your responses to questions on the aid application.

Current Financial Aid Documentation

In order to determine your eligibility for some of our need-based aid and scholarships, we need to see an official document that details your current financial aid profile. If your aid package is not yet available for your study abroad semester, submit the most recent aid profile information available to you.

Your current aid information must be:

  • Clearly labeled with your name.
  • One of the five acceptable options detailed below.
  • Complete and without any missing information (see examples provided for each option).
  • Submitted by the student to IES Abroad. Per federal guidelines on financial aid documents, your school cannot send us your financial aid information directly.

Acceptable documents include: Student Aid Report (SAR); Shopping Sheet; Explanation of Funding; Financial Aid Award Letter; Student Aid Profile Document.

See below for more details on each.
