Financial Aid
Most students need some form of financial aid to study abroad. Your campus Financial Aid office will consider you as eligible when you study abroad through any of the programs offered by the New Jersey State Consortium for International Studies. Check with your study abroad coordinator to find out how financial aid is handled at your home college/university. Your study abroad coordinator will cooperate with you and with the office of Financial Aid in determining your study abroad budget.
Tuition corresponding to study abroad programs is based on what NJSCIS is charged by the program or university abroad (plus the administrative fee). Tuition corresponding to student exchange programs abroad is the average cost to NJSCIS per incoming exchange student for tuition and fees at the New Jersey host institutions. Student exchange agreements are based on tuition and regular fees only. All incidental fees --such as lab or studio fees, for example-- are the responsibility of the incoming and New Jersey outgoing students. When an exchange agreement includes housing and/or meals, outgoing New Jersey students will be charged the cost of room and/or board provided to incoming exchange students in the New Jersey host institutions --prices are similar in all New Jersey colleges and universities hosting exchange students.
