The Application Process:

Applications are not reviewed until all materials are submitted. A complete application consists of:

1. CIMBA students should submit a CIMBA online application, including an essay and resume.  Students will then need to request that their official KU transcript is sent to adm-transcripts@uiowa.edu. Please note that the application requires the name and contact information for an academic reference.
2. KU students must also complete the KU study abroad application found here.
3. KU students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor about their interest in studying at CIMBA. The advisor will verify which coursework will transfer to help the student meet their academic goals. They may also be able to help choose the best semester to attend in terms of CIMBA course offerings and the student’s academic pursuits.  KU students must submit an Academic Plan & Approval Form, which requires their academic advisor’s signature, to select the courses they plan to take through CIMBA as part of their KU application.
   

Payment & Financial Aid Information:

All program costs are paid directly to CIMBA through the University of Iowa U-Bill system.  Please be aware that all KU students studying abroad will be charged a study abroad fee, paid directly to KU.  This fee is separate and is not included in the CIMBA program costs.

Most KU students will be able to apply their financial aid package to studying abroad with CIMBA. However, there are exceptions and KU students are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor to have their financial aid package reassessed.

The KU Study Abroad Office also offers scholarships to all KU students participating in an approved study abroad program, such as CIMBA. Students can find more information at the Study Abroad website.
