To be considered for financial aid in the summer, you must be enrolled for a minimum of six credits in a JMU Studies Abroad program. Any federal aid received during the summer may affect your eligibility for financial aid during the subsequent academic year. Individual programs may or may not have scholarship money available during the summer. You should contact the director of the program on which you are studying to inquire about scholarship availability. If you are not a JMU student but are participating on a JMU Study Abroad program, talk with a financial counselor at your home college or university about transferring your aid to a JMU Studies Abroad program.
Loans are another option.
To do this, your home institution must agree to certify that you are enrolled in an approved program. The following is a partial list of organizations which offer scholarships and financial aid to study abroad students. Hundreds of other organizations also offer financial awards to students going abroad. Research and a bit of detective work is the best way to find sources that will help you. AIFS 102 Greenwich Ave.
