How do I pay for study abroad?
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.
Semester Abroad Study
Emory & Henry College has a list of approved programs from which students can choose. Students typically stay enrolled at E&H while they are abroad for a semester. Programs available include:
Student Exchange Programs
- Pay regular tuition to Emory & Henry College
- Pay the housing costs to the university abroad and any additional fees required by the host institution (e.g., meals, insurance, lab fees, etc.)
- The $2000 semester abroad fee is waived for the exchange programs
