International Study Abroad Scholarship Program
“Genuine change must first come from within the individual, only then can he or she attempt to make a meaningful contribution to humanity.” – Dalai Lama
Scholarship Program
University scholarship program to study in Spain
The program
At the International Studies Foundation we aim for long-term educational sustainability through various educational initiatives that help create ladders of opportunity for all low-income students.
We are firm believers that education is one of the most important pillars for the development of a civilized society and the best way to make a difference in the lives of young people who otherwise would not have the necessary resources and tools.
By giving young people access to these different educational opportunities, we can impact their lives forever and at the same time, they can change the lives of many others.
Mission
The Scholarship Program acts as a link between the different educational programs that we carry out with our partners.
The mission of this project is to create a complete program where we can unite education, culture, values, internationalization, social awareness and responsibility, to provide young people with an international experience and a broader global vision through interdisciplinary activities, leadership programs and the opportunity to travel.
Objectives
To offer students the opportunity to study abroad in Madrid at one of the most prestigious American universities in Spain, CIS University through academic scholarships.
To unite different educational programs with a unified objective and reward effort, commitment and social work while adding value to the rest of the programs.
To offer young students the necessary tools to succeed in an increasingly globalized and competitive world while helping them make a positive impact, not only on themselves but also on the lives of others.
Student Selection
ISF selects students from our local partner programs who have been previously selected to participate in the “Camino de Santiago” program. Selection is based on academic and personal merit along with an outstanding commitment and sense of social responsibility.
Each year, a group of students of different nationalities will have access to apply for a full scholarship at CIS University

Academic Program at CIS University
CIS University is an American university located in Madrid, Spain. The university offers 100% accredited programs through its academic partner Endicott College, located in Beverly, Massachusetts (NECHE accredited).
Founded in 1981 on a humanistic basis, with approximately 250 students, the university offers majors in Communication and Marketing, Business and Liberal Arts.
CIS University has always been involved in social initiatives. In fact, a large part of the university and campus culture is that being a good student academically is not enough. CIS is not only known for the quality of the academic programs and professors it makes available to its students, but it also works with them to help them become better people throughout their studies.
The following organizations were founded by CIS University in Madrid, Spain, and are currently developing different initiatives around the world:
- Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Spain Foundation
- Crusade for Children
- International Studies Foundation
CIS students will have the opportunity to study at an American university in Madrid, while living the European experience, learning about Spanish culture and international studies, and getting involved in our multitude of social and community programs. Our goal is to make the world a better place, one student at a time.
