What about financial aid?

The Center for Ecological Living and Learning has developed its semester programs to be as affordable as possible to all students.  Students may find that the costs of participating in a CELL semester program are less than the semester costs of attending a college or university back home.

According to the Higher Education Act of 1992, college students can receive financial aid for study abroad if they are enrolled in a program that is approved by their home institution. Furthermore, students are eligible to receive government funding even though the study-abroad program may not be “required” as part of the student’s degree.  Federal law also states that financial aid can cover all “reasonable” costs associated with a study abroad program, including:

• Tuition and fees for the program
• Transportation costs
• Living expenses
• Passport & Visa fees
• Health insuranc

To learn more about your eligibility for financial aid, we recommend that you talk directly with your college’s financial aid office regarding what financial aid it allows for study abroad programs.

We would be happy to send you a copy of our student handbook that contains information on financial aid and/or to discuss financial aid or other issues with you directly.  For more information, please contact us.
