Study Abroad Financial Aid

³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ students can participate in two types of programs abroad:

  1. ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ sponsored short-term programs led by ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ faculty members.
  2. Non-³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ sponsored short-term, semester and academic year programs organized by other U.S. universities or program providers.

Students who are studying abroad apply for financial aid in the same manner as those who are studying on campus. The should be completed on an annual basis. If you have already completed your FAFSA for the year in question, it will be used to determine your eligibility for aid for the term(s) you are studying abroad.

Non-³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ sponsored study abroad programs are approved for credit by ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ and are considered ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ enrollment for financial aid purposes, allowing you to retain many forms of student financial aid while studying abroad. In reviewing study abroad program costs, you will find that many semester long programs are similar to the cost of one semester on campus (including tuition, housing and meals).

Once you have decided on a study abroad program, make an appointment to meet with Jacki%20Griffin, associate director of Financial Aid, by scheduling with her directly or contacting the Office of Financial Aid and requesting to meet with her. Bring the ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ or non-³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ sponsored program cost sheet with you, including estimated out-of-pocket costs, such as spending money.

Be sure to allow adequate time to process financial aid forms for overseas programs.

Note: The ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ tuition waiver cannot be applied to non-³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ sponsored study abroad programs.
