*Our program fees are based on currency exchange rates in effect at the time of budget planning. Further weakening of the U.S. Dollar against world currencies may require a surcharge to cover unexpected costs resulting from unfavorable exchange rates. We will do everything possible to limit program costs as we monitor economic conditions beyond our control.

Financial
Aid:
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 30 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 or Adventures Abroad program. Visit the Online Fenz
Scholarship page. Students may also get forms from
the Office of Academic Programs Abroad, 103 Boone Hall.
