Overview

Opportunity Description

Each semester, ILR International Programs invites students to apply for a limited number of international travel grants aimed at supporting flight costs for ILR-related activities abroad during the winter, spring or summer break. These small grants are competitive and are only intended to subsidize a student's budget and should not be seen as an exclusive source of financing.

Grants cannot exceed $2000, and submitted proposals will be reviewed by the ILR International Programs Faculty Committee.  Awards will be made based on depth and richness of the proposed activity and on relevance to ILR.

View more details on the ILR International Travel Grant website.
