International Institute Funding

Please visit the International Institute website for funding information.

Please note: All University of Michigan students taking part in University-sponsored international travel should review U-M Overseas Travel Guidelines and are required to register on the on-line International Travel Registry. U-M requires that undergraduate students participating in U-M education abroad (study/work/volunteer) programs organized by U-M departments/units or for which in-residence U-M credit is granted buy the University's travel abroad health insurance policy. CREES requires that all students purchase the University's travel abroad health insurance policy when participating in CREES-supported individual study, research, and/or internships abroad. U-M students may also buy this insurance for leisure travel abroad. For information about the plan's benefits and costs, see Travel Abroad Health Insurance. To purchase the University's travel abroad health insurance policy, you must first fill out the Travel Registration form. (See Travel Health Services for information about immunizations and other travel-related health matters.)
