Additional Awards

The following awards are not administered through the Summer Abroad office, and are all contingent on adequate funding. Please check with the relevant offices for further information.

International Experience+ (IE+) Awards

Students participating in a Summer Abroad program who are able to demonstrate financial need may be eligible for funding through the IE Award+. You are encouraged to complete the IE+ Award application, administered through the Centre for International Experience.

  • The IE+ Awards is open to domestic as well as international students who are participating in Summer Abroad programs.
  • It aims to support students in financial need with a contribution toward their return flight and some living costs. 
  • IE+ Awards are limited to a maximum of $10,000 over two years (any IE/IE+ received in total over the two years). 
  • Application processing time takes up to 6 weeks, so we recommended that students apply for the IE+ Award at least 6 weeks prior to their departure.
