Many students worry about the cost of study abroad. But with a little time and effort, you can put together a strong package of financial aid, scholarships, and loans. Now is the time to start because many scholarships have early deadlines. This page provides information about financing study abroad, but, most importantly, you should talk with your financial aid advisor and the study abroad office at your college or university.
Financial Aid
You can use most forms of financial aid, including loans and grants, for study abroad. To determine which types of aid you’ll be able to use for your study-abroad program, contact your financial aid officer at your college or university. Be sure you’ve filled out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
