General Information

Emory College students who qualify are considered by the Office of Financial Aid for a summer aid award after registration in summer study abroad classes. The amount of the award depends on the number of credits and current financial aid package. Students currently receiving financial aid from Emory are typically eligible. Students can contact the Office of Financial Aid if they have any questions about their eligibility or for information about the specific award.

If you are intending to use a loan to finance your summer study abroad program, you should start the application process as soon as possible after acceptance to the program. Approval of the loan must be received by the Office of Financial Aid no later than the summer study abroad payment deadline; otherwise, your participation on the program may be jeopardized if your program is not paid in full by this deadline.

Eligible students may apply their Courtesy and Ministerial Scholarships toward the academic fee portion of the program cost.

CIPA Scholarships

A competitive CIPA Summer Study Abroad Travel Grant is also available for study in non-traditional locations, intensive language studies, and science studies. Up to 19 grants will be awarded each summer (approximately 15 non-traditional location grants, 2 intensive language grants, and 2 science grants). Funding ranges from $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the program location. The exact amount will be determined by the Selection Committee, and students cannot be awarded more than one CIPA travel grant. You are eligible if you are an Emory College student with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average. You must have applied and been accepted to an eligible Emory summer program (see below) and return to Emory for at least one semester after completing the program.

For the non-traditional location grant, eligible students must currently be receiving need-based financial aid and have been accepted to an Emory summer program in one of the following countries: Argentina, Botswana, China, Israel, Japan, Morocco, Namibia, Russia, Turkey or South Pacific.

For the intensive language grant, eligible programs are intensive language and culture programs with either a minimum of 15 class hours per week OR at least 10 class hours per week PLUS living in a host family during the course of the program. Students must have completed at least one 300-level language course before the start of the program and have been accepted to one of the following Emory summer programs: Arabic Language and North African Studies, French Studies, German Studies, Iberian Studies, Japanese Studies, Latin American Cultural Studies, or Russian Studies.

For the science studies grant, eligible students must be enrolled in Emory College majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, Computer Science, or NBB. Students must have taken at least three science classes and been accepted to either the Chemistry Studies summer program in Siena, Italy.

The selection process will be competitively based on financial need and the following factors: the appropriateness of your plan of study to your overall academic plan; the quality of the match between your goals and the opportunities offered by the program; and the strength of your preparation at Emory.

Students must submit the CIPA Summer Study Abroad Travel Grant application and accompanying materials no later than March 3. The original application must be submitted to the CIPA office along with 4 additional copies.
