How Do I Fund Study Abroad?

Eligibility to use federal and state financial aid will depend upon the specific program selected and a student’s individual circumstances. The Christel DeHaan Center for Global Engagement will work with you and the Office of Financial Aid to determine your eligibility after you select the study abroad program you would like to attend.
