Most Memorable Moment

While studying in Japan, I also worked as a waiter at a restaurant. One thing that I will never forget is the fifth anniversary celebration that our restaurant had in early May. Everyone greeted me by name, called me over to their tables for brief conversations, and some even invited me to eat with them. It was that moment that I realized that I had fully become a part of that restaurant.

Funding Study Abroad

IAP offers a wide range of program costs, so that there is a program for every budget. Sometimes studying abroad is no more expensive than studying on-campus. 

IAP encourages all students to do the following when planning to fund their study abroad experience:

Complete a FAFSA

You should complete a FAFSA even if you do not currently receive financial aid on campus.

You do not need to do anything extra on the FAFSA for studying abroad.  You complete it just as you would if you were staying on campus.

For more information on completing the FAFSA, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid or visit their Web site.

IAP will notify the Office of Student Financial Aid that you are studying abroad & they will use the costs of attendance for your program abroad when calculating your aid for that term.

Research Programs

You can find cost estimates, as well as detailed information about each program, on the program page under the “Cost” tab.  You can find all available programs through the program search page.

The program fee is what you will be billed from the UW Bursar’s office. The Estimated Additional Expenses are what you will need to be prepared to pay out-of-pocket and are estimates for these expenses.

Fill out the Study Abroad Budget Worksheet

You should compare the cost of living and attending classes on-campus with the cost of your prospective study abroad program. The budget worksheet below can assist you with these calculations

Study Abroad Budget Worksheet

After you have the calculations come up with a strategy for funding your time abroad.

Apply for Scholarships

There are many scholarships available for study abroad. Review the Scholarships page for more details.

Use Creative Funding Techniques

Past students have used many different ways to fund their study abroad experience. Check out Ideas for Creative Fundraising for some that have worked for past participants.
