When planning for an international experience, it is important to remember that costs associated with programs can vary.\u00a0 Program budgets are listed for each program in ISUAbroad<\/a>.\u00a0 While programs typically fall into one of the following three categories, please view the specific budget for individual programs for more information:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exchange \u2013 Pay your normal Iowa State tuition and fees to Iowa State, same as if you were on campus; room and board are paid to the host school.
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Group\/Regents\/Semester-in \u2013 A \u201cflat rate\u201d for each of these programs that are independent of your residency status at Iowa State.\u00a0 For many of these programs Non-Iowa residents (i.e. out of state students) can save money!
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Summer Programs \u2013 The fee structure for summer programs varies greatly between programs \u2013 please check the specific budgets.<\/p>\n

The Iowa State Financial Aid Web site<\/a> has information about using your financial aid towards an international experience.\u00a0 They also have a financial aid officer who meets specifically with students who will be participating in an international experience. Your financial aid may be able to be applied to your study abroad experience. However, it is important to verify how your aid will be applied. Students are encouraged to file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if you haven\u2019t already done so.<\/p>\n
