Study Abroad
Cost
Most people think it costs a small fortune to study abroad. Not so: Typically, a term of international study costs about the same as a term on campus – sometimes less. And in most cases, you can apply your Elmhurst College financial aid package toward your time abroad. Every Elmhurst-affiliated program offers scholarships for study abroad; some students are eligible to apply for Gilman, and Boren, and Freeman-Asia scholarships. The Elmhurst College Niebuhr Center also provides grants to eligible students.
The bottom line: Don’t let misconceptions about price stop you from exploring this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
NOTE: IN ADDITION TO PROGRAM COSTS, ALL STUDENTS ON LONG-TERM PROGRAMS WILL BE BILLED THE $600 INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION FEE DURING THE TERM THEY ARE ABROAD.
The scholarship application for short-term programs can be found on the home page of your online study away application..
Please complete the Financial Aid Application for International Programs and Other Off-Campus Study for semester or year-long programs.
