College of Human Sciences International Programs Scholarships

Full-time students majoring in an area of study within the College of Human Sciences who are participating in any Iowa State study abroad program are eligible to apply for College of Human Sciences International Scholarships. Scholarships may vary in amount but range from approximately $500 – $1000.

Students who are awarded a CHS International Scholarship are required to complete an International Connections reflection and send 8 to 10 photos to CHS International Programs for future promotional purposes within 30 days of returning from their study abroad program. If students do not complete their International Connections, the scholarship can be revoked. Scholarships may also be revoked if a recipient is unable to attend the study abroad program.
