You are required to submit a copy of your signed and completed USF International Exchange Financial Aid Certification form to the Office of Financial Aid in order to ensure that your financial aid funds are disbursed. Your eligibility for financial aid while participating in overseas study is the same as for enrollment in a standard program of study. You must be classified as degree seeking at USF and be in good academic standing. The Office of Financial Aid does not administer specifically designated funds for overseas study. Contact the Overseas Study Office , located in CPR 468, for information on available overseas scholarships.
Most overseas programs occur during the summer term.
If you need funds for purchase of airfare, deposit on an overseas study program, or other related expenses, prior to USF's scheduled disbursement dates, consider pursuing an alternative loan. For more information on alternative loans, review the following section on Alternative Loans. Regular financial aid funds include the federal loan, grant and work study programs, Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, and Institutional programs. Available funds vary from summer to summer. If you plan on participating in a USF overseas study program you should contact your assigned financial aid counselor for information on what may be available.
