How to fund global experiences
Funding your in-person or virtual global experience can come from a combination of financial aid, merit-based scholarships, and/or need-based grants. Tippie students have access to aid from both the Tippie College of Business and the university's Study Abroad Office. Applying for as many scholarships as possible can give you one less worry as you're preparing for your international education.
