Things to Know about Financing Your Experience Abroad
- Participants pay a program fee instead of on-campus tuition and fees for the term they are abroad.
- Several scholarships and fee reductions are available.
- Most financial aid can be used for credit-bearing study abroad options endorsed by the UofM. Schedule a study abroad financial aid preview meeting to learn how financial aid can be applied to your study abroad expenses.
- Take advantage of the University's One Stop online financial wellness resources for budgeting, student loans, and more, or schedule a financial wellness counseling appointment. Note that these resources are different than the Financial Aid Preview Meeting and are not specific to study abroad.
Special Funding Sources
- The GI Bill® can only be used for study abroad in rare circumstances. Contact University Veterans Services to discuss your program.
- Contact your 529 plan administrator to determine which study abroad costs are eligible under your plan's policies. Rules vary from plan to plan, and Onestop will not be able to provide the information for your specific plan.
