ISEP Exchange Application and Fee Breakdown

Utah State University partners with ISEP, a non-profit organization, to break down financial and academic barriers and make study abroad accessible and affordable for everyone. With ISEP Exchange programs, you can go abroad anywhere in the ISEP network while paying Utah State University tuition, housing, and meals. This then enables a student from another ISEP member university to swap places with you. Learn more about the ISEP application and fee breakdown.
