Undergraduate Exchange Programs
Program
Cost & Financial Aid
 When you study abroad on a partner exchange
program, you pay tuition and fees (aside
from housing) the same as if you
remained here at the Smith School.; the
framework of the exchange is such that each university sends
an equal number of students abroad as
they receive, and so costs are balanced
out. You are, however, responsible for
the payment of housing (to the
university or to a landlord), meals and
transportation while abroad.
If you study at a
non-partner AACSB or
Equis accredited
institution, you will
make all financial
arrangements with that
university.
Most aid programs can be received
during Study Abroad Semesters, but
students must request authorization of
each award. The Office of Student
Financial Aid (OSFA) is not able to
offer extra grants or scholarships to
help cover the additional cost of Study
Abroad Programs. In some cases the OSFA
can offer additional student or parent
loans after adjusting for Study Abroad
cost.
Please download financial aid
paperwork from the
Office of Student Financial Aid
website.
Some scholarships are available:
Rotary International offers an
Ambassadorial Scholarship, where the
student is considered an ambassador of
goodwill, and after the study term is
completed the student shares their
experience with people and Rotarians of
their home state.
More information is available online.
The Institute of International
Education offers some specific
scholarships.
Please visit their website
to see if any apply to your interests.
