Is additional financial aid available for CCS or semester abroad program fees?
Students who enroll on CCS are sometimes eligible for additional loans if the program fee increases the student’s need level. Students should see their financial aid counselor to inquire if this applies to them.For semester abroad programs as well as the SAU Japan semester option, there are scholarships which may be applicable: The Gilman Scholarship, for Fall or Spring semesters abroad, applies to students who are US citizens, Pell Grant recipients and plan to study abroad for a semester in many non-Western European nations, including Japan. This scholarship awards up to $5000 for a semester abroad and an additional $3000 for study of certain languages. Both the CCS Director and the student’s financial aid counselor must certify the Gillman application prior to its submission – SAU has application deadlines for this that precede the Gilman deadlines. Thus, students are encouraged to work closely with the CCS Director and their financial aid counselor when completing the Gillman Schola
