International Summer Award

The International Summer Award (ISA) is available to eligible Yale College students. Study abroad applicants who want to apply for an ISA should visit that website (www.yale.edu/isa) before applying to Summer Session in order to determine eligibility for the award.

Non-Yale students should consult their respective financial aid offices for funding opportunities.

 

To assure that all Yale undergraduates have the opportunity for a substantive overseas experience which is crucial to the development of a global perspective, Yale has committed resources to provide funding for one summer experience abroad for all undergraduates receiving financial aid from Yale that includes a Yale scholarship.

Students should apply for the ISA as soon as they have been accepted into a Yale Summer Session Study Abroad program. At the latest, they must submit the ISA application by the time final payment of tuition and fees is due, two weeks before the course begins. Check with Carolyn Falls in Student Financial Services for further information.

Yale Summer Session submits a program budget estimate to Student Financial Services that is a best guess of how much the entire program will cost. The ISA is based on this estimate. Certain student expenses may be higher than what is estimated (e.g., plane ticket, local transportation, non-program meals).

Please visit the ISA website to check your eligibility and to determine your funding level. All questions regarding eligibility, award amounts, how the award is disbursed, and timeline for payment should be directed to Carolyn Falls in Student Financial Services, the office that administers the ISA.

After you are accepted to a YSS Study Abroad program, you will be able to apply for the ISA through your CIE profile.
