IES Abroad will be awarding a total of $50,000 in Faculty-Led Grants to winning proposals submitted by faculty participating in the IES Abroad Faculty-Led Program Grant Proposal process. Participation in the IES Abroad Faculty-Led Grant Proposal Process is free. Submitting a proposal constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
A participant’s entry may be deemed void, in IES Abroad’s sole discretion, if it does not comply with these Terms and Conditions. Entry is open to faculty at accredited U.S. universities and colleges. Faculty will have the opportunity to submit a proposal for a Faculty-Led Spring or Summer 2027 program in one of three IES Abroad Global Pillars: 1) Sustainable Living, 2) Equitable Living, or 3) Human Well-Being.
The proposed program must be located at any of the IES Abroad Centers and must start on or after July 15, 2026, and end on or before July 14, 2027. Proposals will be accepted from February 19, 2026, at 8:30 a. m.
CDT until July 1, 2026, at 4:30 p. m. CDT (“Period”).
No purchase necessary to enter or be selected. Entry void where prohibited by law. Entry open to legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age at the time of entry.
To enter, entrants must submit proposal entry forms during the Period. Entrants may submit up to two (2) proposal entry forms. Faculty may submit proposal entry forms with other faculty at their college or university.
There is no limit to the number of proposal entry forms that may be submitted on behalf of any college or university, provided no faculty member submits more than two (2) proposals. By submitting proposal entry forms, all entrants agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions. Review & Selection Process: A panel consisting of IES Abroad’s staff members will select winning proposals.
The panel will rank each proposal based on 1) how the location is used as a learning resource; 2) if academic excursions and field trips led by qualified guides are integrated into the program; 3) if the academic program engages students in the intellectual, political, cultural, and/or social institutions of the host country; 4) suggested topics for guest speakers and/or field trips; and 5) program length.
Due to the short-term nature of these programs, the panel will give preference to programs taking place in the classroom and IES Abroad cannot guarantee internships and/or community-based learning opportunities if they are included as a program component. IES Abroad will decide the winners and notify them directly. Chance plays no role in determining the winners.
Each winner will become eligible to receive a grant towards running their winning proposal, subject to the execution of a contract for services with IES Abroad for said program, and successful recruitment of at least ten (10) student participants in the program. Such grants will be awarded by IES Abroad, in its sole discretion, in the minimum amount of $10,000 per program (“Prize”).

Grant funds are only applicable towards the cost of participation of faculty or student participants, and cannot be applied to guests, even if such guests are approved by School and IES to join a program. Prize has no cash value, is non-transferable, and may not be redeemed for cash or any other substitute except at IES Abroad’s sole discretion.
Winners are responsible for all taxes, fees, and expenses not expressly included in the Prize description, and may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and, where lawful, a publicity release within the time period specified by IES Abroad. Failure to comply may result in disqualification.
By participating, entrants agree to release and hold harmless IES Abroad and its affiliates, employees, and agents from any liability arising out of participation in the proposal process or acceptance, use, or misuse of the Prize.
