Make financial arrangements for your study abroad program. Please make sure you meet with your financial aid office as soon as possible to discuss financial aid or scholarship opportunities.
If you qualify for financial aid at your home university, you may be able to apply some of those funds to a study abroad program. This will vary depending on the source of your financial aid, and in all cases, will be subject to requirements of your university financial aid officer. When applicable, it normally requires an Ad Hoc Consortium Agreement between your home university and the foreign school. You must be a student in good standing, enrolled in a degree oriented program, and taking courses abroad which count towards a degree while you are a transient student at a foreign school.
