GSU Student Resources
International Education Fund Scholarship Global Experience Scholarship
The Georgia State University International Education Fee (IEF) Study Abroad Scholarship Program, initiated in 2004, is funded by the mandatory international education student fee. Additional funds are provided by the Georgia State University Foundation, and students who apply for the IEF Scholarship are automatically considered for funds from the Foundation. Students generally receive either IEF funds or Foundation funds, but not funds from both sources. Post-baccalaureate students not enrolled in a degree or certificate program are not eligible for the IEF Scholarship.
