Applying for Financial Aid to Study Abroad
Most kinds of Federal and State financial aid can be used on the foreign study programs. Many students have used aid successfully in conjunction with study abroad. However, to make financial aid work for you, you need to follow the guidelines below:
Apply early for financial aid (before February 10 for the following school year) so you can be considered for all sources of aid for which you might be eligible and have adequate processing time to meet program deadlines. Always apply for scholarships by checking the Enrollment Services website at www.sou.edu/enrollment/financial-aid/ and searching the internet. (If you are a student who receives an SOU tuition remission scholarship, be aware that they are not applicable to some exchange programs. Check with the International Programs Office at 552-6336 if you have questions.)
- Study abroad financial aid recipients must have their data verified before their files are reviewed. This means turning in any requested documents, such as signed Verification Worksheets or Federal Tax copies. Once a student has accepted an aid offer, Loan Promissory Notes and loan entrance counseling may need to be completed. Students who are taking a federal Direct loan and have never done loan entrance counseling before, can do it online at www.dl.ed.gov. No aid will be released to your SOU account unless all required financial aid steps have been completed.
