Funding should not be among the list of concerns for overseas study at IU Bloomington. While most financial aid such as grants and loans may be applied to semester and academic year programs administered or co-sponsored by IU, there are exceptions.
Education Abroad facilitates access to scholarships available for study abroad programs and provides guidance on how to apply traditional financial aid.
