Funding

Financial Aid

The financial aid you normally receive at K-State can typically be applied to any approved credit-bearing study abroad program. To receive financial aid for your study abroad experience, you must complete the FAFSA application that you normally complete to receive financial aid. Once you apply and have been accepted to a study abroad program, your study abroad advisor will create a cost sheet for you which outlines all expenses you can expect to incur during your study abroad experience.  Once you have signed and turned in this cost sheet to the Study Abroad Office, your Study Abroad Advisor will work with you and the Office of Student Financial Assistance to ensure you’re able to apply your financial aid to study abroad.

For more detailed information about financial aid, please contact the OSFA:
