Financial Aid for Semester Study Abroad

If you are enrolled in an Emory Semester Program, you can utilize all the same financial aid that you would qualify for on campus. Students are also eligible to apply for additional scholarship opportunities through CIPA.

 Financial Aid

Since you are enrolled in an Emory Program, you can utilize the same financial aid that you would qualify for on campus. Examples include federal financial aid, state financial aid, Emory scholarships, and most outside scholarships. Since students in Emory Programs remain fully registered at Emory, they receive institutional financial aid and scholarships, in addition to most state and federal aid. The Financial Aid Office will reassess your need, based on the actual cost of studying abroad, and will make appropriate awards up to, but not exceeding, the amount you would have received during a regular semester at Emory. If you are currently using the work study program, please see an advisor in the Financial Aid Office.

Types of Financial Aid Grants and Scholarships

This is usually money that does not need to be repaid, based on talent, financial need, or affiliation. Examples include the following: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Emory University Grants, Emory Scholars Program, Georgia Tuition Equalization/HOPE Grant, Georgia Student Incentive Grant, Georgia Governor's Scholarship, United Methodist Ministerial Scholarships, Student Courtesy Scholarships, and other outside scholarships.  

Work Study

If you currently have a work studyjob on campus, you qualify for a replacement grant during your semester abroad. The replacement grant is based on the average of the prior two semesters' earnings and can amount to as much as $1000 for the semester.

If you are work study eligible but currently have a job off-campus, you may be eligible for a replacement grant during your semester abroad.

Please see Emory's Financial Aid Office for details about your individual financial situation.

Loans

Loans are available from various sources, including federal and state governments, the University, and private lenders. When you take out a student loan, you must pay it back - even if you do not complete your education. Examples include Federal Perkins Loans, Emory University Loans, Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, Emory Eagle Loan, Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, United Methodist Student Loans, and Federal PLUS Loans.

Any student receiving financial aid should at some point make an appointment with:
