Explore Funding

Overview

All programs vary in costs. Consider travel, tuition and living expenses as you plan for your experience. Your study abroad advisor can help find the right program for you. Many programs are based on USU tuition.

There are resources to help fund your study abroad experience. You can apply for financial aid, grants, scholarships, and setting up payment plans.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

If you normally qualify for financial aid, including grants, scholarships and loans, you may also apply these awards to your study abroad program fees and tuition.

Please see the guidelines for using financial aid during a study abroad program on the Financial Aid page. Please discuss any questions you have about financial aid with your study abroad advisor and your financial aid counselor.

Study abroad programs costs can be offset by using grants and scholarships. Typically, scholarship applications are due about six to nine months before you plan to study. We recommend applying to scholarships as soon as possible, even before acceptance.
