Yes. ILP is a non-profit organization, so donations made directly to International Language Programs are tax deductible (we’re an IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) organization; the program fee and other contributions are tax-deductible). When volunteers fundraise, many have had luck getting half of all program fees (or more) through generous donations.  Parents, relatives, and friends can all act as ILP program “sponsors” to help you make this semester abroad happen.
