International Experience Grants provide partial funding ranging from $500-$2000 toward the cost of international experiences.
All Smith students are eligible to apply, but those who have received funding must wait two years before applying for a second grant. IEG awards may not be used for costs associated with semester or year study abroad, or for travel to your home country. The grant may not be used for activities that take place after a student has completed her Smith degree requirements.
International Study Grants are awarded for study, research, service and unpaid internships abroad. Priority for funding goes to:
• students going abroad for the first time
• students with high financial need
• projects that last 3 weeks during J-Term, and 6-8 weeks during the summer
• projects related to the student's major, future plans or for language study
• projects for which the student demonstrates a strong background and preparation
Applications are due at 12 noon in the Office for International Study on:
October 15 for January term proposals and
March 15 for summer proposals.
Human subject research (projects which involve interviewing people) must be approved by the Smith College Institutional Review Board (IRB). A copy of the approval page must be submitted with the IEG application.
Funding is not available for travel to countries listed on the U.S. State Department Travel Warning List. See Smith's policy.
