May. Students scheduled for Spring graduation will receive individual letters outlining dates and location for counseling sessions. Back to the Table of Contents Financial Aid for Study Abroad Southeast offers many excellent study abroad and exchange experiences for students. Experiences available include short-term, semester, and academic year programs. Study abroad programs can be expensive, but some programs, especially student exchange programs, allow students to spend a semester or a year abroad for about the same as it costs to stay on campus. Airfare and increased personal expenses represent most of the extra costs.
Early planning can help with the extras.
This is where financial aid enters the picture. Financial aid may not cover the entire cost of the study abroad experience but it, combined with personal resources, can make the experience affordable. Advanced planning is necessary because each study abroad program as well as each student s eligibility for aid is unique. A student s financial aid history and the length and cost of the study abroad program must be taken into account when determining the level of eligibility. To explore the availability of financial aid for study abroad, contact Sharon Scherer, Student Loan Coordinator, Financial Aid Services, at 651- 5906 for an appointment.
