Good News! When participating on a CSB+SJU semester study abroad program, 100% of your CSB+SJU scholarships, grants, and loans apply to the cost of study abroad.

If you have questions about financing your study abroad, you are encouraged to meet with the CSB+SJU Financial Aid Office to discuss available options for funding a study abroad program, regardless of length.

Financial Aid for Semester Programs

Your CSB+SJU financial package remains intact for embedded study abroad programs. Your scholarships and grants will apply towards the costs for the semester, as it does during a regular semester. CGE will notify the Financial Aid Office of your participation in the program and an adjustment will be made to your budget to reflect additional expenses you will incur.

After you are accepted to a program, CGE will notify the Financial Aid Office of your plan to study abroad. An adjustment will be made to your budgets to reflect additional expenses you will incur. (Note: student employment is not an option during study abroad). You may also be eligible for additional loans or scholarships from CGE or outside agencies to help defray costs.

Student Employment on semester study abroad

If you work on or off campus during the semester to help pay for school and living expenses, consider how much you earn during a semester. Student employment funds are not available during study abroad. Most programs do not allow visiting students to work due to visa and immigration restrictions.

Financial Aid for Short-term Programs

Embedded Study Abroad Programs

Your CSB+SJU financial package remains intact for embedded study abroad programs. Your scholarships and grants will apply towards the costs for the semester, as it does during a regular semester. CGE will notify the Financial Aid Office of your participation in the program and an adjustment will be made to your budget to reflect additional expenses you will incur.

You should apply for financial aid through the normal process, using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). While grants and scholarships do not increase based on the cost of course/program fee, you also may be eligible for non-federal private loan options, which require a co-signer. CSB students are also eligible for an additional scholarship funding as listed on the CGE Scholarship page.

Billing

Billing for Semester & Embedded Study Abroad Programs

The education program fee for the fall semester or embedded course is charged with the July billing for the Fall semester. The spring semester or spring-embedded course/education abroad fee is charged with the December billing for the Spring semester. There are no additional tuition costs associated with these programs unless you will need to pay for an overload for over 18 credits.
