Can I qualify for financial aid to study abroad?
The International Student Center (ISC) can assist you in choosing a study abroad program that is eligible for financial aid consideration. You can contact the ISC at: studyabroad@sdsu.edu or call 619-594-1982. For most of these study abroad programs, you are eligible to be considered for financial aid for no more than one academic year as an undergraduate student and no more than one semester as a graduate student. ISC will provide you with references to many study abroad programs.
How do I apply my financial aid with my study abroad costs?
Applying for financial aid for studying abroad is the same as applying for aid as a regular student. You must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as indicated on the SDSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships website. By filing the FAFSA, you are applying for federal grants and student loans. We encourage you to apply early in the calendar year for assistance in the upcoming academic year.
Do I get extra financial aid to assist with study abroad costs?
For most programs, your eligibility is based on SDSU's standard cost of attendance for living in off-campus housing. In some circumstances, the ISC program coordinator can provide the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships with documented proof of higher expected costs for your specific program abroad. This could possibly increase your loan eligibility if you weren't originally awarded your yearly maximum. If your income will decrease from the past tax year due to not being able to work while studying abroad, you may file a Students Request for Review with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. We will consider you for higher need based aid or possibly increase the amount of aid you've already been awarded.
