Financial Aid for Study Abroad
Financial aid received during a student’s regular study at UWF is
available to them for their study abroad program. There are a few things
to keep in mind.
If a student is receiving credit from UWF or transfer credit from
another institution, Federal Aid (grants and loans received as a result
of completion of the FAFSA) is useable for their study abroad program.
If a student is paying their tuition to UWF or to another Florida
public university or college, Bright Futures and Florida Prepaid are
useable for their study abroad program.
Scholarships granted by UWF to the student may be available for study abroad.
Students are advised to discuss their intention to participate in
study abroad with the Financial Aid office as part of their
pre-departure tasks for study abroad.
Financial aid (for UWF-students already receiving aid) is
available on a semester basis for the full program budget (including
airfare) of UWF-administered and UWF-approved third-party programs,
provided such budget does not exceed that of a semester at UWF.
Students must contact the Office of Financial Aid for further details
