Financial Planning

Personal Financing for Study Abroad

With advance planning, study abroad is both possible and feasible for Winthrop students. In addition to consulting with the Study Abroad Office and academic departments about the study abroad process, Winthrop students should also plan carefully for the financial obligations associated with studying abroad.  Costs vary according to the program a student selects, but in general students should account for tuition, room, meals, flights, passport and visa fees, other transportation needs, books and supplies, application and/or study abroad fees, as well as personal spending money when planning for a semester abroad. 

Students should begin researching various scholarship and grant opportunities as much as one year to six months in advance of studying abroad. Visit the scholarships portion of this site for more information related to Winthrop and external scholarship opportunities.
