Get a Global Perspective and an Education
Travelling overseas to study can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. In an increasingly global world, it can also be your ticket to broadening your world view, expanding your professional and social networks, and gaining in-demand skills to help launch your career.
The Education Abroad Program (EAP) offers over 150 programs in more than 40 countries. Because EAP is closely aligned with UCI’s curriculum, most financial aid applies:
- You can apply your federal, state, and institutional aid awarded to support your study abroad cost.
- Private scholarships are generally applicable, unless restricted by the donor.
- Student and parent loansare available to cover up to the full cost of your abroad cost.
- Tuition and fee waivers are generally applicable, just check with the financial aid office for further confirmation.
- Work-Study awards cannot be used while studying abroad.
If you’re looking for something a little different, there are independent program options offered by U.S.-based international education organizations, as well as U.S. and international colleges. Financial aid does not apply to independent study abroad programs
What to know before you pack your bags
Applying and preparing for the Study Abroad program isn't significantly different than the standard financial aid process.
