Students’ financial aid awards may be applied toward the cost of studying abroad, and financial aid packages can be recalculated based on additional costs of the program. Students not currently using financial aid who are interested in applying for it, are encouraged to do so.
Various scholarships are specifically designated for international study, including the IEF awards. Please refer to the funding information for study abroad for further information on financial aid and scholarship opportunities. It is important to begin planning as early as possible since some scholarships have to be applied for one year in advance.
