The Internal Audit Foundation is pleased to administer the annual Academic Alliance grant program (formerly the IAEP Grant Program) for Internal Audit Academic Alliance institutions supported by contributions to the Foundation’s Academic Fund.

The Academic Alliance Grant Program is currently undergoing revisions. Updated program requirements will be posted no later than Q4 2025.

Institutions with restricted funds will now receive designated funds within approximately 60 days of the Foundation processing the donation. The funds no longer need to be requested via the Grant Program (previously Category 5).

The next application window will open January 2026.

Support the Advancement of the Profession

Academic Alliance grants are made possible by contributions to the Internal Audit Foundation’s Academic Fund. We welcome contributions from individuals, chapters, affiliates, and organizations. Support the future of the profession and today.
