Paying for Study Abroad

Your Current Financial Aid & Scholarships


Your regular financial aid and scholarships often apply to study abroad expenses, but there are exceptions. Additionally, your summer aid package is likely to be different from your typical semester aid package.

To see which forms of aid apply to specific program types, use the chart from the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid. To find your program’s type (exchange, faculty-led, etc.), look at the Costs & Funding tab on the program’s webpage. Please note, QTR cannot be used for study abroad costs.
