Financial Aid and Scholarships
If you attend an approved program and meet eligibility requirements, you can take advantage of state, federal, and EMU institutional financial aid. The entire cost of a program is considered in determining your financial need. If you're attending an EMU program, it will appear as regular EMU credit on your transcript.
Faculty-led programs during Spring Break and the Winter Intersession are part of Winter semester. You can apply financial aid and scholarships toward them as part of your regular semester credit load.
If you’re not an EMU student, apply for financial aid at your home institution. You will use the budget breakdowns listed on the selected program home page to share with your study abroad or financial aid advisor at your home institution.
