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! An international experience can be shaped in
many ways, and the HIEP can help you with:

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.
Announcements
