HOW TO PAY FOR IT
•
The total cost of study abroad will change depending on a number if factors, including
the one spent abroad and the country in which you study
•
There are a few strategies that can be used to cover the cost:
–
–
•
•
•
sometimes financial aid can help
The US government or the government of the country where you plan to study can
sometimes pay for some/all of the cost
Some programs include room and board while others only include tuition, so even if
the sticker price for one program is cheaper, it could be more expensive in reality
Don't forget to budget for (and overestimate!) spending money
You get what you put into study abroad. If you go only to study and pursue a degree,
your time overseas probably won't be as special or enriching as it could have been
had you been exploring the new environment of the country in which you are studying.
