All Honors College students wishing to use their $2,500 Honors College study abroad stipend toward an approved study abroad program must complete the Honors College Study Abroad Stipend Application. The application form is due two weeks before the term in which your program will be occurring.

You will receive a confirmation email from the Honors College when your stipend is approved.
Once approved, your study abroad stipend will be applied to your IUPUI Bursar account. If you have a balance on your Bursar account, your study abroad stipend will first cover the deficit on your account before being reimbursed to you.
If you have not done so already, we highly recommend that all Scholars sign up for Direct Deposit. You can do so at this link: studentcentral.iupui.edu/pay-bill/receive-your-refund. Direct Deposit allows quicker access to the funds reimbursed to you via your Bursar account. If you do not opt for Direct Deposit, you will receive a mailed check to your address on file with the university. Students who signed up for direct deposit should expect a refund 3-5 days after the scheduled disbursement date. You can find more detailed information about how the Bursar processes refunds and how long you need to wait before receiving your refund on their website.
The Honors College Study Abroad Stipend Application can be found on the Honors College site on Canvas in the 'Files' section. If you are unable to locate it, please email honors@iupui.edu.
