Awards and Financial Aid

While studying abroad, you can face major financial challenges. Costs can include transportation, accommodations and food, program and tuition fees, travel documents (including your passport and visa), immunizations, medical insurance, luggage, and your personal items.

If you are spending a semester abroad or involved in longer work and learn activities, you may have to show you have the financial resources to cover your stay up-front before being admitted to a foreign country. 

To help ease these costs, consider applying for student loans and awards.
