Program costs and financial aid

All faculty-led summer study abroad programs are direct costs only (4 or 6 credits discounted at 50%, airfare, housing and meals, in-country transportation, excursions, international health insurance, cultural and academic activities, guest lectures, etc.). The program fee is listed in the relevant course brochure and also in your acceptance letter.

Financial aid is available in the form of loans. Contact Northwestern's financial aid office for more information. If you are intending to use a loan to finance your summer study abroad program, you should start the application process as soon as possible after acceptance into the program. Approval of the loan must be received by the program payment deadline, which is May 1 of each year. If your program is not paid in full by the deadline, your participation in the program may be jeopardized.
