Travel: Financial Resources

30Indiana University and the School of Journalism offer several programs and methods to help you fund your travel experiences. Check out the listings below.

Hutton International Experiences Program

Available for short-term, summer, semester or year study. Any IUB undergraduate with a cumulative GPA of 3.40 and/or a 3.7 GPA in his or her major may apply. Awards range from $500 to $2500.

Deadlines:
  • Summer programs: Noon the Friday before spring break
  • Fall and academic year: Noon the Friday after spring break
  • Spring semester, spring break and winter break: Noon Oct. 30

Office of Overseas Study
The Office of Overseas Study provides many useful links for funding sources, including grants, loans and scholarships from IU and national sources.

Financial Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid will work with students individually to determine need. Because travelling abroad increases the cost of attending IU in a given semester, the School of Journalism will, if requested, increase the expected cost to attend IU to reflect the additional cost of a travel course. Depending on a student’s personal situation, this may increase access to federal loan, grant or work-study programs.

Student Media
IU’s Student Media offers students a chance to get practical journalism experience, published clips and cash. Students can work for the Indiana Daily Student, the Arbutus yearbook, Inside magazine and IDSnews.com. Work includes covering stories throughout semester or submitting work upon returning from travel.
