Studying abroad is affordable! Don't let program costs keep you from considering a study abroad program. Here are a few tips:
1. Go see Mrs. Margaret Pigatt-Lanier in the Georgia Southern University Department of Financial Aid (Rosenwald Building). She can help you allocate your financial aid resources for a study abroad program. FAFSA, Pell Grant, Student Loans and HOPE can all be used - see Mrs. Pigatt-Lanier for more information!
Also please remember to see her well in advance of your program departure...the sooner the better!
2. See our scholarship listings below! There are scholarship opportunities through the Center for International Studies, through the University Honors Program, through the University System of Georgia, and through national and international organizations (see below). Applications are judged based on GPA, a statement of intent essay, financial need, program costs, program location, program duration, and a letter of recommendation (if required).
3. Each program (summer or semester) has different costs. Some are less expensive than others, some are more. Costs usually depend on where you're going, how long you'll be away, and what amenities are included in the program fee. Contact the study advisor for more information.
Good luck!
