the cost of ANY study abroad program, whether or not it is sponsored by
the State. Financial aid eligibility is determined using the TOTAL cost
of studying abroad (including air fare and personal expenses), based on
official program budgets provided by the Study Abroad Office or by the
sponsoring institution (if the program is not one of your State
program).
Please be aware
that the FAFSA should be submitted in January of the year prior to when
the program starts (see www.fafsa.ed.gov). T

passed, contact your school immediately. Financial aid funds are
available through the Office of Financial Aid to assist students who are
enrolled in a degree program with meeting the expenses of Study
Abroad experience.

Aid recipients are expected to enroll as full-time students. Full-time

Disbursement of Financial Aid Funds

you should return the post card included with your bill deferring
payment.
