International Sponsored Students

International Sponsored Student Programs (ISSP) enhance the diversity of the UT Dallas community, while supporting students pursuing degrees at UT Dallas. A sponsored student is a student who receives financial support from governmental or non-governmental agencies to pursue a program at UT Dallas. At UT Dallas, most of these students are pursuing degree programs at the graduate level.

In partnership with sponsors, the International Partnership Development (IPD) Office assists students in the administration of their terms of sponsorship in collaboration with the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO), the Bursar’s Office, and the Office of Financial Aid. In addition, IPD works with academic departments and the Office of Intercultural Programs in order to best serve UT Dallas ISSP students.
