Program Overview

Typical award will be between $6000-$8000 (this may vary) and may only be used as a subsidy in the overall program budget to lower costs to students

The applicant’s department will be required to match the SAIL Grant awarded on a 3:1 ratio, i.e. between $1500-$2000.

Programs to be led by faculty or qualified staff (with department approval)

Programs must contain Intercultural Learning Outcomes and assess students’ intercultural development pre and post travel

Preference will be given to faculty/staff who have successfully completed and Intercultural Pedagogy Grant (IPG) Program and have a proven track record of successfully selecting, assessing and reporting on intercultural learning outcomes from a previous study abroad program.

Programs that do not enroll 10 or more students by March 15, 2021 may be subject to a special review by the Dean of International Programs.
