Financial Resources
Financial Aid
If you are currently receiving, or eligible to receive, aid at your home institution, ÁùºÏ±¦¿â will work with you and your home institution so that you may access and use financial aid for your program at ÁùºÏ±¦¿â. Please meet with the financial aid office at your home institution as soon as possible to discuss using financial aid for your ÁùºÏ±¦¿â program, as there are particular procedures to follow and there may be some limitations.
In addition, please inform ÁùºÏ±¦¿â Academic Relations + Student Services (ÁùºÏ±¦¿â, Inc.) of your intent to use financial aid and complete all required forms by the appropriate deadlines. Doing so may enable you to defer certain payment deadlines.
ÁùºÏ±¦¿â Grants
ÁùºÏ±¦¿â offers small grants based on academic merit and financial need for Study Abroad and Certificate Programs. Qualified credit-seeking grant applicants with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher must have applied to the ÁùºÏ±¦¿â Study Abroad or Certificate Program of their choice by the appropriate deadline. Grant applicants must submit a letter of recommendation from a professor, or other individual who has supervised the applicant in an academic or working capacity, and all the relevant documents requested on the application form.
Grant applications are due by the program application deadline. Please note: The recommendation which accompanies your grant application must be from someone other than the individual who wrote your program application recommendation.
Institutional Billing Requests / Arrangements
If your home institution prefers to be invoiced and pay on your behalf, please notify ÁùºÏ±¦¿â Academic Relations + Student Services (ÁùºÏ±¦¿â, Inc.). ÁùºÏ±¦¿â will coordinate with your home institution to confirm the terms of the billing arrangement. Please note that you may still be required to confirm your enrollment by submitting the Initial Program Payment and Housing Deposit/Advance, depending on the billing arrangement between ÁùºÏ±¦¿â and your home institution.
Other Resources
ÁùºÏ±¦¿â recommends that you meet first with your study abroad and financial aid advisors at your home institution, as they will have knowledge of specific grants and scholarships for which you may be eligible. Additionally, they will be involved in coordinating the transfer of aid and scholarships toward your ÁùºÏ±¦¿â program.
