In addition to financial aid, below are several ways to help students reduce the cost of their KIIS study abroad program:
1. Apply Early & Save $100
For Summer programs, apply by January 20 and save $100. To be eligible for the $100 savings, submit your online application and pay your $150 application fee by January 20. Your supporting materials (faculty recommendation, transcript, passport photo page or passport application + 1 photo are due February 15)
Please note: The $100 savings will be deducted from the student's final April 15 program payment (Summer programs).
(meaning all students are required to pay the $150 application fee and, if accepted, the March 15 $1000 program payment)
Fall Semester programs: April 1 (apply early & save $100 deadline)
Spring Semester programs: October 1 (apply early & save $100 deadline)
2. KIIS Scholarships
Summer programs: One $500 scholarship is available for each KIIS program Summer Ecuador applicants: Kentucky-Ecuador Partners (KEP) generously provides an additional $500 scholarship. (KIIS Ecuador applicants may apply for both the KIIS and KEP $500 scholarships)
Fall Semester programs: One $750 scholarship for each KIIS program. Spring Semester programs: One $750 scholarship for each KIIS program.3. Your College or University Study Abroad Scholarships
