Program costs are an important factor in choosing a program abroad. You will find a considerable range in costs between programs. For each Mizzou Study Abroad program, estimated budgets are available on the costs tab of each program page.
Don’t let financial limitations deter you from studying abroad. There are several sources of funding you should consider.
Scholarships
Scholarships for study abroad are available through on- and off-campus resources.
Financial aid
If you are participating on an MU-sponsored program, you should be able to use most of your federal, state, institutional or private financial aid to help cover the cost of studying abroad. If you plan to apply financial aid to your program cost, you must work with your adviser in the Office of Student Financial Aid and fill out all of the necessary paperwork.
Forms must be filled out by the specified deadlines to ensure that you will continue to receive your financial aid while abroad. If you begin this process early enough, Student Financial Aid can re-evaluate your need and you may be eligible for additional loans or grants.
Visiting students are not eligible for financial aid or scholarships from MU. You should work with your home university’s study abroad and financial aid offices to research your options.
