Currently, I am eligible for financial aid. What aid is available for non-UC Study Abroad programs?
UCSB students who will study abroad in a non-UC study abroad program are eligible to receive federal aid (Pell Grant, Direct Loan, and PLUS Loan) and state aid (Cal Grant) for which they have qualified. However, you will need to request that the UCSB Financial Aid Office complete a Consortium Agreement with the non-UC school or non-UC study abroad program. There are deadlines associated with this process. Even if you normally do not receive aid, you should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). While this application is due in early March of each year for consideration of all aid types, students can apply throughout the year for Pell Grant and Direct Loans. Also, students can look for outside scholarships at: www.studyabroadfunding.org.
