One of the largest misconceptions about study abroad is that only students without financial aid can afford it. However, every year students with high, moderate, and low financial need journey across the globe to take advantage of study abroad programs. The key to making study abroad affordable is planning ahead and deciding on a budget that will be most appropriate for you. Miami financial aid covers semester and full year programs run through the Study Abroad Office and a number of scholarships can also be found both through Miami and outside of Miami. The Benjamin A. Gilman scholarship is particularly noteworthy: the Gilman is a grant program that enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad. This scholarship is available to U.S. citizen undergraduate students who receive Federal Pell Grant funding. Whether you desire to apply for a summer, semester, or full-year program, planning remains key in budgeting for program expenses and seeking out additional aid.
