The University is committed to providing its degree students, including higher degree research candidates, with access to funding to support participation in one or more Global Mobility programs while they are studying with the University. The amount and eligibility criteria will vary depending on the funding scheme (see below).

There is a maximum of one grant per student per overseas experience. Most students will be funded by an IEIS Grant.

International Experience Incentive Scheme Grant

Griffith University's Vice Chancellor dedicates funding each year in International Experience Incentive Scheme grants to assist students with the cost of their overseas program. IEIS grants are available to domestic and international students participating in an overseas program supported by Griffith Global Mobility (please see table below for details).

  • Students can receive a maximum of one grant per program.
