How to Apply

We know that studying abroad is a big decision and we are here to guide you along every step of the way. DIS collaborates with over 200 partner institutions across the U.S. so that your application process is simple, and credits are easily transferred back to your home institution.

Talk to Your School

Your study abroad office and academic advisor can give you the information you need about application processes, deadlines, transfering credits, and tuition. They can also advise you on how to transfer your financial aid and talk through other scholarship opportunities.

Application Deadlines & Requirements

We encourage you to apply as early as possible as DIS often reaches capacity.

Be sure to meet with your university’s study abroad advisors as internal deadlines and processes vary by institution.

Academic requirements include:

+ Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0

+ Must have completed two semesters by time of participation

+ Good academic and disciplinary standing at a four-year college or university in the United States or Canada

One of the biggest obstacles that people foresee to study abroad is how one will fund it. At the start of the planning process, it can seem daunting and even difficult to imagine. However, study abroad can be pretty feasible. Look into how your school deals with tuition and if your current scholarships are still eligible to be applied abroad. For me that was a great help.”
