ISEP-Direct provides the opportunity to enroll directly in a host institution abroad instead of exchanging places. Chances of placement are usually excellent for qualified applicants, so you and a friend can study together. Some sites offer special academic programs and excursions only through ISEP-Direct. All students from all ISEP-Direct members and ISEP-Exchange members (both US and International) can participate in ISEP-Direct programs.
- The program fee covers tuition, orientation, student services abroad, and often room and meals.
- Financial aid usually applies for US students. Check with your home university for details.
- Deposits and program fees may be submitted by check or by credit card using the Student Payment Form.
- Please see our FAQs on ISEP-Direct Payment for more information
