OIP Financial Aid Summer Grant

In support of our conviction that all Harvard College undergraduate should have the opportunity to pursue a significant international academic experience, the OIP Financial Aid Grant provides funds to support undergraduate summer study abroad. Students for whom an international experience would not be possible without funding support and who have applied for financial aid will be considered for this competitive grant. Students who have received an OIP award or grant for summer study previously will not be eligible for this grant.

Freshmen and sophomores, and other Harvard College undergraduates who have not had previous international experience, are particularly encouraged to apply for this grant. All undergraduates are urged to apply for other relevant grants and awards found in the Harvard College Funding Source Database for International Experience. The OIP Financial Aid Grant is for summer study abroad in an approved program; preference will be given to students applying to one of the Harvard Summer School Study Abroad Programs.
