Before submitting the deposit for a study abroad program, students should first determine how much it will cost to participate. Next, students should compare the costs of the program with the funds they have available. Students may complete the tables below to determine if sufficient funds are available for the program.

To complete Table 1, students should refer to an itemized cost sheet designated for the program they plan to attend. The Office of Education Abroad and Student Exchange can provide cost sheets to students. Note: Students should estimate the cost of their rent and other monthly expenses that are due while they are studying abroad.

To determine available resources, complete Table2 and Table 3.

To complete Table 2, students may review their personal financial aid information on Pipeline via WebMT.

Note: For Summer Study Abroad Programs, students are required to pay program costs during the Spring semester; therefore, they must pay these expenses before the Financial Aid Office can credit their summer financial aid. Federal regulations prohibit the disbursing of summer financial aid before the Summer term begins. For convenience in paying deposits and early fees, students are encouraged to determine if they have remaining fall and/or spring financial aid eligibility that can be used for early deposits and fees due before the summer term.

To determine the amount of out-of-pocket costs for the Study Abroad Program, complete Table 3 based on the previous calculations.
