 Financing Your Global Experience 

Financing Your Global Experience

Anticipating and embarking on a global opportunity, whether to study, conduct research, intern, or work, require careful planning, including budget planning. As you begin thinking about traveling overseas, consider the associated costs and how you will finance your experience. These costs may include travel to and from your destination, visas, housing/accommodation, meals, spending money, placement fees, and supplemental tuition expenses.

Through the University or external resources, several scholarships, grants, student travel discounts, and budgeting tools/tips are available to assist you in thinking about how you may finance your global opportunity.
