What Study Abroad Expenses Are Covered

FAQ: What does financial aid cover for Study Abroad?

Basically, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships receives an updated program budget for Study Abroad students and repackages students for the total minimum cost of attendance. In addition to tuition & fees, if you need roundtrip airfare or a study visa, Financial Aid repackages based on these estimated costs.
