Estimated Costs Above the Program Fee:
Frequently students ask us how much money they will
need above the program fee. Based on estimates made by students who were careful about their expenditures on
previous tours, extra expenses should amount to:
| Meals | 1000 |
| City Transportation | 300 |
| Laundry | 200 |
| Textbooks | 200 |
| Miscellaneous | 500 |
| Total | $ 2,200 |
Tuition and fees are billed separately, based on your
registration for 9 to 15 undergraduate semester hours.
These expenses do
not include the purchase of gifts and souvenirs, nor do they take into account the life-style of the individual
student. A major credit card is recommended.
Refunds
No
refunds will be made for meals, accommodations, cultural events or other regularly scheduled activities missed
by tour participants.
Financial aid for EMU Students:
Eastern Michigan University
students who qualify for financial aid may apply it to this program. Appropriate arrangements must be made with
the Office of Financial Aid, 403 Pierce Hall. Thanks to financial aid, study abroad is affordable for almost
all students, provided that you meet all the eligibility
requirements. You can take advantage of a wide array of state, Federal, EMU institutional and private sources
of aid. The entire cost of a program, including transportation to and from the program site, tuition, fees and
living expenses, is taken into account when financial need is determined. This means that your award will be
adjusted according to the actual cost of the study abroad program. The types of aid available to you will
vary. Visit the EMU Financial Aid Website for an overview.
The Emanuel Fenz Cultural History Tour
Scholarship for EMU Students:
The Cultural History Tours were developed by EMU's Dr.
Emanuel G. Fenz more than 27 years ago. A scholarship
in memory of Dr. Fenz's achievement in education has been
made available to provide financial assistance to qualified
EMU students participating in a Cultural History Tour
program. Online Fenz Scholarship forms require Acrobat. Students may also
get forms from the Office of Academic Programs Abroad,
103 Boone Hall.
Financial aid for non-EMU Students:
Students from other
colleges and universities should apply through their own Financial Aid Office for assistance. Students who do not
normally qualify for financial aid at their home institutions or who need additional funds beyond their normal
financial aid allocation may consider arranging a loan through the Higher Education Authority loan program of
their home state. Programs of this kind enable students to obtain loans at a low interest rate through private
banks or through the student's state of residence. Information regarding these programs can be obtained from
the financial aid office of the student's home institution. Be sure to have your
Financial Aid Officer coordinate any consortium agreements or financial aid you receive with EMU's Financial Aid Office.
