Summer Experience Grant (SEG)
The International Study Award (ISA) has been replaced by the Summer Experience Grant (SEG) for summer 2027 and onward. Visit the SEG website to learn more about the SEG funding process and requirements.
Student Eligibility Requirements
The International Study Award is open to students who are participating in eligible programs and who:
- are first-year students, sophomores, or juniors in Yale College*
- receive Yale financial aid for the award year preceding their summer experience*
- have not received an ISA before, or who returned ISA funding in full before starting an experience in a previous summer
- complete all required application materials before their respective deadlines
Students who do not receive Yale Scholarship due to receiving funding from an outside source (such as the government of their home country or the ROTC) and Eli Whitney students should contact Undergraduate Financial Aid (yss.funding@yale.edu) to find out about their aid eligibility.
Note: Students cannot receive the ISA and the SEA in the same summer. Students can apply for both awards, but must choose one or the other after finalizing their Summer 2026 plans.
Tip: *Please review our Policies page for information about special circumstances regarding eligibility.
