Financial Aid goes with you, so don't let finances keep you from studying abroad!
If you receive financial aid, it travels with you for term-time study abroad and covers everything from airfare and visas to books and ground transportation.
Your Parent and Student contributions remain the same whether you are on campus, or studying abroad for the semester.
All students on aid are eligible to take out a loan to cover the term time work expectation for the semester(s) abroad as well as a $2,000 unexpected expenses loan to cover an emergency, or to use for travel/recreation while abroad.
The Financial Aid Office (FAO) will help you create a budget to help you determine your daily living expenses abroad.
For more information on applying your financial aid to a semester abroad, visit the study abroad page on the FAO’s website and review their study abroad FAQs.
