Diversity Grant-in-Aid
International Programs (IP) offers grants-in-aid to qualified students participating in IP-approved study abroad programs. Funding for these grants is available via a grant from the University’s Equal Opportunity Planning Committee. IP has contributed funding and considerable staff time to this endeavor as a part of its commitment to give members of under-represented groups
greater access to our programs. Funding for these grants is specifically earmarked for students with disabilities and/or members of ethnic minority groups. Over the years, IP has assisted many students who might otherwise not have been able to study abroad.
