Senior Business Associate @ Visa

iXperience helped me get extremely competitive investment banking internships as I was able to showcase an app that I had built in my resume. Perhaps more importantly, iXperience encouraged me to pursue my entrepreneurial interest. I have since started a small video ad agency while maintaining my current job.

Software Engineer @ Apple

I landed a summer internship in software development, and I can credit most of that to my experience in Cape Town. Not only did I learn how to apply my coding skills in the real world, but I also learned a lot about myself: how to be confident and curious when I don’t always feel like a master.

Christopher, iX 2016
CEO & Co-Founder at Better Nature

Partaking in the Management Consulting course was one of the best educational decisions I have ever made, and pivotal in my following career moves. My time at iX laid down the foundation for me to get a place as a Summer Business Analyst at McKinsey London. The biggest learning outcome I got from iX was a growth mindset and after graduation, instead of playing it safe, I leapt into starting my own company.

Both Aaron and Rafi graduated from Yale University, where they each received nearly 100% of tuition in need-based aid. Due to Yale's generous policies, they were both able to have transformative experiences abroad. Their mission is to enable the same experiences for more students like them.

How iXperience financial aid works.

Need-blind admissions

iXperience has a need-blind admissions policy, which means we don't consider an applicant's financial situation when making their admissions decision—we decide based on the strength of an application alone. If you indicate that you'll be applying for financial aid in the application, you'll have the opportunity to fill out a separate financial aid application after you submit your program application.

Need-based financial aid

We grant aid based on an applicant's demonstrated need, which is calculated based on their family income and a variety of other factors. Financial aid packages can be up to 30% of your summer tuition fee depending on your needs. If you are granted aid, it will be deducted off of your program fees. Financial aid awards cannot be used to pay the program deposit.

The application process

During your application, you will need to select if you are applying for financial aid and you will then have to complete a separate application to be eligible. We will release your financial aid package within two weeks of releasing your application decision.

As a part of your application, we will ask you to disclose any other aid you've received to do iXperience, which may affect your iX aid package. Additionally, if your university has a partnership with iXperience and you are eligible for aid through your university, then we may not consider you for direct iX aid.

Family income

There is no official income cut-off for financial aid eligibility. Since eligibility for need-based financial aid is determined by many factors, including the family’s income, family size and number of children in college, we encourage you to apply if you are concerned about your ability to pay. Family income includes both taxed and untaxed income. Total income is based on the Adjusted Gross Income listed on the federal tax return plus all untaxed income (i.e., tax-deferred pension contributions, social security benefits, child support received, tax-exempt interest). In cases of divorced or separated families, the incomes from both parents are considered in determining total family income.

Building strong funding connections to enable study abroad for all students.

In 2019, we welcomed 9 talented students to iXperience in Cape Town who received scholarships from the Duke University Clark Scholars Program.

We captured their inspiring stories in a short video.

A streamlined application process.

Complete your application in an hour.
Regular Decision 1 application deadline: January 30, 11:59 pm PT.
STEP 1

Build your summer. (5 mins)

Use our application platform to choose the best city, course, and date combination for you. Not sure what combo to pick? Don't worry – you can change your selection after submitting your application. Our Admissions Team is always here to help.
STEP 2

Choose between a written application or phone interview. (30-45 mins)

You can write our short application essays, or choose to schedule a phone interview with one of our admissions consultants, if the option is available. Our advice? Just be yourself!
STEP 3

Confirm your eligibility. (10 mins)

In order to receive your admissions decision, you'll need to confirm that you are in good academic standing with your home institution and that you are approved to study abroad. We'll send you a form to complete with your study abroad advisor to make this easy. We highly recommend meeting with your study abroad office and other advisors about your summer plans.
STEP 4

Get your admissions decision.

You'll hear back in 2-4 weeks. Earlier applications receive quicker decisions and preferential admission. After receiving your decision, you'll have opportunities to ask more questions about the program or even put your parents in touch.
STEP 5

Secure your spot.

As spots at iXperience are limited, we encourage our admitted applicants to secure their spot in the program by paying their deposit.
