CCIS recognizes how travel can transform students into global citizens who are accepting of new ideas, embrace different cultures, and break down social and economic barriers. Since 2006, CCIS has awarded nearly $150,000 in scholarships and grants. These programs are available to all clients of CCIS.
As of November 24, 2025, CCIS has awarded the entire allotment of $5,000 for the 2025-2026 Student Travel Grants. Seven students across five schools received awards to financially assist them on their group’s trips for the spring. Grants for the 26-27 travel season will open this summer.
(Up To $4,000 Annually)
As a part of our ongoing commitment to support education, CCIS is now offering grants to educators that will enhance learning opportunities for their students. These grants are intended to help meet the funding challenges that a group might face because of budgetary shortfalls. For example; instrument repairs, piano tuning, new flags, or other classroom equipment/needs. Please be as specific as possible on the application when explaining how this grant would be used. If you are looking for assistance with funding for a CCIS trip, please use the Student Travel Grant application above to nominate a student in need.
The application is a fillable form. Once it has been filled in, print, sign, and send to info@ccistravel.com.
Applications will be accepted until funds for this program are exhausted.
Only CCIS Trip Leaders can submit Teacher Grant applications
