Emory & Henry Abroad Faculty-Led Courses

• There is no additional tuition for the E&H Abroad Courses offered during the regular semester; however, students must pay a program fee, which varies by course.
• If students wish to use financial aid to help with the E&H course program fee and the additional expenses associated with these programs, they should meet with a representative in the Centralized Student Assistance (CSA) office to determine what aid will apply. This meeting should take place before the student applies to the E&H Abroad program.
