The Stanley Awards for International Research are used to conduct research abroad or pursue learning activities in international studies that are not available on the Iowa campus. Each student receives $2,500 toward their research project. The awards are funded by the Stanley–University of Iowa Foundation Support Organization. Recipients are expected to spend a minimum of four weeks abroad and must plan to return to the UI for at least one semester after the period abroad and before graduation.
