IPC & UNCG Scholarships
IPC Travel Grant
All UNCG students planning to participate in a UNCG Study Abroad Program are invited to apply for a Travel Grant Award. Students do not need to have already applied to study abroad in order to apply for a Travel Grant. The award will be applied to your student account on the term in which you study abroad.Travel Grant Awards typically range between $200-$1100. The grants are funded by generous donors to UNCG specifically for study abroad participation. Award amounts are calculated based on a number of factors including but not limited to financial need, academic area, Honors College standing, and other parameters set by the donors of the various funds. Priorities set by IPC are also considered, e.g, first time college students and students who have never traveled abroad. Note that Honors College students are required to submit this travel grant application to receive their travel grant.
There are two application deadlines: October 31 and March 31.
- The March 31 deadline is for students planning to study abroad on programs that run during the following summer, fall, and spring terms. The application will open February 1st. Awards will be announced by April 15. Apply here (Available after February 1st).
- The October 31 deadline is for students planning to study abroad on programs that run during the following spring, summer, and fall terms. The application will open September 1st. Awards will be announced by November 15.
If you change your program or term from the one you listed in your travel grant application, you can still use your award funds. The funds will be disbursed to your student account on the term when you actually study abroad.
