Funding Study Abroad |

Federal Aid and Scholarships
Most students will be able to use their financial aid and scholarships for the program. Federal law allows government money such as grants and loans to be used for study abroad purposes.
Study abroad students must apply for financial aid through their home institution. Students should check with their university to determine the procedure for applying for aid for study abroad programs. The Consortium office will work with other universities to help facilitate the financial aid process, and can provide a budget of estimated costs if it is required. Universities usually accept the budget that is provided in the expenses section of the Web site. Students must notify the Consortium office if they will be receiving financial aid. Notification is important particularly if students wish to delay payments until financial aid is received.
CIMBA Financial Awards
The Consortium has a substantial number of both merit- and need-based financial awards available for students attending the summer program. Award packages range from $100-$1500 for the summer program. Award amounts vary from year to year based on the number of applications received and funding available. Financial award applications are due on February 15 for the summer program. Only students who have applied and been accepted to the program will be considered.
