The length of the exchange is either a semester or academic year, depending on the program. Students pay ISU tuition and, in most cases, room and board, which they receive at the exchange university at no additional expense. The cost of the exchange program is therefore based on what the students would pay if they remained here in Ames.
Students can earn full academic credit and remain eligible for financial aid.
In addition, Study Abroad Scholarships are available for students participating in these programs. Group Programs ISU offers a variety of group programs which are open, in most cases, to all college students. These programs are usually taught by ISU faculty, although there are notable exceptions like the Iowa Regents' Programs which are taught by faculty either from a Regent university or from the institute where the program is located.
