According to the Office for Study Abroad, you can use federal, state and institutional loans awarded to cover the costs of attending the UI toward the cost of an approved study abroad program. General criteria are that you enroll in a study abroad program sponsored by a university or college, and that you continue to make satisfactory progress toward your degree. Because study abroad may exceed on-campus costs, you may be eligible for increased financial aid. Even if you are not currently eligible, you may become eligible due to the extra cost of a particular program. Scholarships, whether based on merit or financial need, also support undergraduate research and study abroad.
Several scholarships are available.
