Financial Aid & Education Abroad
For many students, financial aid is an important piece of the puzzle for a successful education abroad experience. This page explains some of the key information you need in order to plan ahead for your semester or academic year abroad.
Getting Started
If you are planning to use financial aid towards your education abroad program, get started by reviewing these points:
-
Start planning as early as possible. Early planning is essential, so you can make informed, cost-effective decisions about your program and expenses.
-
Pay close attention to all deadlines and requirements. Failure to adhere to deadlines or to submit paperwork on time may delay your aid processing.
-
Allow for processing time. If your program requires a form or letter documenting your aid, be sure to submit these requests as far in advance as possible. The Office of Financial Aid cannot guarantee immediate turnaround on last-minute requests.
-
Be realistic. When researching programs, pay attention to both the program costs and the general cost of living in the program location. Consider what your aid will and will not pay for. How will you cover any shortfalls?
