Smith International Study Grants (ISGs) are administered by the Office for International Study, Neilson Library Archway (B South), the former Public Safety office.

Smith Student Aid Society (SAS) funding is also unrelated to fellowships but the information about them is posted here because you are required ALSO to apply for a SAS Grant when you apply for an ISG.

ISGs usually provide partial funding toward the cost of activities abroad. The amount depends on various factors but might be in the $300 to $900 range, though this can vary according to circumstances.

Grant decisions are usually made within about a week after the application deadlines for Winter, Spring and Summer breaks. However, because students must invariably pay the deposits themselves to reserve places in programs, an indication can sometimes be given earlier of the expected grant amount, in order for students to assess whether they can afford to participate in particular programs.

To make your trip more affordable, remember that, for instance, it is cheaper to go to Mexico or Central America than it is to go to South America or the Iberian Peninsula. Try to go for a long period to get the most out of your airfare; the farther you fly, the more this applies. Flying far for a few-day conference is expensive. Optimize your limited funding opportunities at Smith.

SAS grants usually amount to about a few hundred dollars, roughly $200 to $400.
