GIE Fellowships

During the GIE application students will be given the opportunity to apply for a pre-GIE Fellowship. Students will be asked to answer additional questions to be considered for a Fellowship and the awards will be $2,500. Funds will be disbursed directly to students to reimburse them for GIE-related expenses. Please note that students who have increased their loan eligibility for GIE-related expenses may have funds returned to their lender to reduce their principal loan amount. EMBA GIE participants are not eligible for these fellowships at this time.

Full-Time MBA students participating in GIEs are considered for funding through fellowship funds donated to UNC Kenan-Flagler. Through the gracious generosity of donors who are focused on providing support to Full-Time MBA students participating in international experiences, each GIE will have the opportunity to acknowledge the excellent contributions of one or two participants. Students who are participating in a GIE will have the possibility of being selected based on a nomination by the GIE faculty lead and staff leader. Students are not required to submit an application for these funds. The Post GIE Fellowships are also $2,500. Students who received a Pre-GIE Fellowship are fully eligible for the additional post-GIE award.
