International Education Programs and Studies has a cost estimate sheet detailing the cost of attendance abroad for each semester. The standard forms for financial assistance are available through the Office of Student Aid. Since students remain registered at Penn State while abroad, financial aid recipients will continue to receive most components of their aid packages during the time they are enrolled in this program. International Education Programs and Studies coordinates closely with the Office of Student Aid to help students with financial need obtain funds to cover the additional costs entailed by study abroad. To exploit the many advantages and benefits of a study abroad experience, it is essential that students, in consultation with their academic advisers, plan well in advance.
