I gained language experience and independence. It was totally worth it! - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
Some of the most important lessons I learned from living and studying abroad are how to be independent and adaptable, along with providing me the opportunity to immerse myself into Spanish culture.

Past Review Amazing
I learned more terms in Spanish. I learned a lot about the Spanish culture. - Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne / IPFW View Entire Review
My experience was worthwhile because my Spanish-speaking ability improved. I became educated about the culture and history of Spain. It also opened my eyes to the fact that there is so much in the world that I have not experienced. I became more independent and adventurous. - University of Tampa View Entire Review
Past Review Vamos Chicas
I was able to practice my Spanish speaking skills. I also gained more independence and knowledge as to how other cultures live. It was a worthwhile experience that everyone should do. - Kean University View Entire Review

CISabroad / Center for International Studies Scholarships

This award is intended for students within the LGBTQIA+ community, as part of CIS Abroad’s commitment to Generation Study Abroad. Studying abroad as an LGBTQIA+ or gender nonconforming student brings an additional set of challenges and options to consider. There are some questions you may want to ask yourself, and research to be done, before choosing a study abroad program – but our LGBTQIA+ students have amazing experiences abroad and often find local LGBTQIA+ communities to be a part of. Recipients will select from a variety of mediums to share their story while abroad, in addition to submitting a photo testimonial.

Up to $500

This award is intended for students in a Greek Life organization who need help covering the cost of membership dues while abroad.

We understand first-generation students face additional barriers to studying and interning abroad. In fact, many staff members at CIS Abroad are also first-generation college students. This scholarship is intended to help fund the visa process, flights, and international housing for students who are among the first from their family to go to college. Recipients will share their story of learning and exploration while abroad with a photo gallery and their choice of travel vlog, blogging, or an Instagram takeover.
