Both finding an ideal program and obtaining necessary funding can be very
challenging when seeking an overseas experience. However, in
many cases, the cost of a program may not be as far out of your reach as you
think. In addition to the Hutton International Experiences Program,
you may be interested in looking into other study abroad and international education Web
sites. A few of these are listed below.
Note: The following sources and Web sites are only
listed on this site for informative purposes. Any Web site external to Indiana University is
not affiliated with the Hutton Honors IEP program, and any information
contained in their sites may or may not be in agreement with the policies
of IU or the Hutton Honors College. This list is not comprehensive.
