Grants
Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) has two scholarships for US students:
Bowman Travel Grant: for high school or undergraduate students participating in a CIEE program or program of a CIEE member institution. Award amounts range from $500-2,000. In most cases, awards are issued as vouchers to Council Travel, to be used towards the purchase of the student's airline ticket to their program destination. Application deadlines are usually in April and October. 888-COUNCIL ; ISICGrants@ciee.org.
The Bailey Scholarship is intended to promote increased participation in Council’s International Study Programs by members of groups which have traditionally been under-represented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. 888-COUNCIL
