Illinois for Illinois (I4I) and International Programs and Studies (IPS) Study Abroad Undergraduate Scholarships

The final deadline to apply for scholarships for study abroad programs during Spring Break 2012, Summer 2012, Fall Semester 2012, and Academic Year 2012-2013 is coming up on February 3, 2012. The application is available through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, closing at midnight. 


UIUC undergraduates who have paid the study abroad scholarship fee this semester and who are participating in an upcoming University-approved study abroad program are eligible to apply for the I4I. Last semester, approximately 1 in 3 applicants received an I4I Scholarship. Recipients receive $500 for a short-term study abroad program, $1,000 for a semester-length study abroad program, and $2,000 for a year-long study abroad program. Students can apply in the categories of financial need, underrepresented student, general merit, and nontraditional destination.


UIUC undergraduates with a 3.0 or above who are participating in semester-length programs abroad (unless otherwise noted on the website) are also eligible to apply for IPS Donor-funded Scholarships. Award amounts range from $300-$4,500.
