ISEP-Direct fee-paid programs offer access to over 30 universities in 20 countries and are marked with a D in the Directory descriptions. Often, if ISEP-Exchange space isn’t available, you will find ISEP-Direct as an option at that university. For ISEP-Direct, you pay a fee to ISEP based on the actual cost of operating the program at the host university.
- Open to any student at an ISEP Member or Affiliate institution. See the Directory (top right).
- Courses offered are usually the same on ISEP-Exchange and ISEP-Direct unless otherwise noted.
- Financial aid usually applies for US students. Check with your home university for details.
- A $60 application fee, $500 deposit, and program fees are paid to ISEP.
- Deposits and program fees may be submitted by check or by credit card using the Student Payment Form.
- The program fee covers tuition, orientation, student services abroad, and often room and meals.

- At most sites, there are no limits on the number of ISEP-Direct students that can be accepted, so the chance of placement for qualified students is very good.
