Early application allows your financial aid office to complete the review of your eligibility for financial aid and to get all of the paperwork done. Be sure to apply to the financial aid office on your home campus no later than fifteen weeks prior to departure. • Gain an international dimension and a global perspective in your major. • Expand your range of course options and develop a global résumé. • Experience the increasing interdependence of the United States with other countries. It is possible for students to use some or all of their federal financial aid for study abroad. Here are some facts you should know: • Explore the role you can play in the global community. • Meet local students, host families, and townspeople, and immerse yourself in the life of the host country. • Financial aid may be used for study abroad, including summer study, as long as you are enrolled for academic credit and meet other requirements—these will vary by school, so contact your financial aid office. Both direct costs (instructional costs, room and board) and indirect costs (books, airfare, personal spending, etc.) of a study abroad program can be included to calculate a student’s financial aid package. • Enjoy new and different activities. • Sharpen interpersonal and communication skills through interacting with people from backgrounds different from your own. • Improve your ability to use a foreign language in many programs. • Expand your career choices and clarify your personal goals. • Option of living with a host family: many programs feature this option, which accelerates foreign language acquisition and gives in-depth knowledge of another culture. • Access to student services: CCIS programs offer features such as orientation, on-site support and academic counseling, social activities, field trips, and excursions. • Wide range of courses: curricular options may include intensive foreign language courses as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences, physical sciences, business, studio art and design, and marketing—all taught in English. • Entry in programs at all language levels: foreign language courses in non-English speaking countries are a part of many programs; students can start at any level, from elementary to advanced. • Competitive costs: costs are moderate and vary by duration and location. • Assistance with credit transfer. • Eligibility for many forms of financial aid. 4 Why Choose CCIS? • Choice of 93 study abroad programs in 27 countries around the world for a semester, summer, or full academic year. • There are many forms of aid. Check with your financial aid office about federal forms of aid, including grants and loans, as well as forms of state or institutional aid. • Seek approval for your participation in a study abroad program from your advisor or other appropriate faculty member or administrator on your campus. Once your home institution has granted approval for participation in a study abroad program, and if you are otherwise eligible to receive financial aid, then federal forms of financial aid can be applied toward the cost of a study abroad program. • You must apply through your home institution to receive financial aid for any study abroad program you choose; once your aid package is awarded, you are responsible for making certain that all funds are forwarded to the appropriate US institution that sponsors the study abroad program. 5 Fi nanc i al A i d a n d St u d y Ab ro ad W h y St u d y Abroad ?
