Whether you plan to study abroad for a semester or get your entire degree outside the United States, you may be able to use federal student aid to pay your expenses.

You may receive federal student aid for a study-abroad program, if you meet the aid eligibility criteria. 

To determine which types of aid you’ll be able to use for your study-abroad program, contact the financial aid office at your American school. Start early, because it’s important to get all necessary paperwork done on time, both at your American school and at the international school.
