Study Abroad
YES! Early planning for study abroad helps you
make cost-effective program decisions, and it
also helps you prepare your finances through
savings, scholarships, and financial aid. Financial
aid applies to study abroad and, in some
cases, your eligibility will increase to cover additional
expenses.
When comparing study abroad costs, note that
program fees often cover full-time tuition, housing,
and most meals. Some programs actually
cost less than enrollment at the University!
Penn State does offer scholarships for abroad
students, and, here’s something to keep in
mind, MILLIONS of dollars in grants and scholarships
go unused because no one has applied.
Funding is available, but it will take some time
and patience to seek and discover! The International
Programs Office provides resources on
these and a variety of other scholarships available
to undergraduate students. Be sure to
stop by and start researching the many financial
options available to you soon!
