Affordability
The biggest myth is that studying abroad is always extremely expensive and wouldn't be worth the cost. I found that there are many opportunities and scholarships that you can seek out, which alleviated the cost of my program.
Studying abroad is a significant investment in your future and it doesn’t have to be financially out-of-reach.
Did you know:
- Studying abroad can cost less than a semester in College Park.
- You can apply your financial aid to study abroad programs.
- Scholarships are available to cover study abroad costs.
