Welcome!

The Edward L. Hutton International Experiences Program (HIEP) is here to help you in your endeavors abroad. There are many ways you can experience new horizons as an IU-Bloomington undergraduate. One of the most rewarding and challenging is foreign study. Experience the ways of other peoples and the sights and tastes of other cultures!

What is the HIEP?

The HIEP's primary goal is to provide funding for high-achieving students seeking educational opportunities abroad. All HIEP awards are made to individual students on the basis of merit, with HIEP awards ranging from $500 to $2500 (based on GPA, essay, strength of recommendation, destination, and duration of overseas program). In every case, student proposals must satisfy university standards and must include IU faculty endorsement.

We also seek to inform students about the benefits of an international experience and about specific program opportunities abroad. If looking for information on an experience right for you, visit our Options page and our more! page for stories, blogs and information from past and current students. Please note that we do not sponsor any specific overseas programs, projects, or internships.

In addition to offering grant support to students studying abroad, one of our major objectives is to encourage past HIEP grantees to serve as ambassadors for study abroad to help IUB undergraduates gain broader international perspectives. For most questions about study abroad, the ideal source of information is other students who have recently been through the experience. For this reason, we keep a library of student essays at the Hutton Honors College, as well as an on-line collection of student blogs & photos.
