Non-Yale Summer Abroad Costs and Funding
Program Costs
Programs and universities will post tuition and related costs on their specific websites. We invite you to refer to the Budgeting section for tips on financial planning for study abroad.
Payment Information
FAQ: Do I pay Yale tuition or fees for the term(s) I am abroad?
If you study abroad for a summer, semester, or year on a designated (non-Yale) program, you will not pay tuition or fees to Yale for the term you are abroad. You will pay the cost of tuition for your program or university, and any associated fees.
FAQ: How do I pay my study abroad program or university tuition?
The university or program abroad will bill you for tuition, room and board, as well as any other fees associated with attending. It is your responsibility to pay all program costs directly to the study abroad program or university.
FAQ: I receive Yale financial aid. Will that impact my summer study abroad costs?.
If you have applied and been approved for a Summer Abroad, you are eligible to apply for the International Study Award (ISA). The application process and deadlines are found on the ISA website.
FAQ: Whom should I contact if I have questions about billing, payments, or the International Study Award (ISA)?
All questions regarding your bill should be addressed to the program or university you will attend. If you have a question about the International Study Award, please contact isa@yale.edu.
International Study Award
The International Study Award (ISA) provides a stipend for one summer experience abroad for all eligible undergraduates receiving Yale financial aid. For more information, please visit the ISA website and attend an ISA information session. ISA questions should be directed to isa@yale.edu.
Note:To use the ISA to help fund the cost of a Non-Yale Summer Program Abroad, you must be receiving credit. This means that you must complete both applications:
Credit for Non-Yale Summer Programs Abroad by March 1
The International Study Award by May 1
Merit-based Funding
Be sure to check the deadlines early!
Outside Scholarships
You may also want to consider applying for study abroad scholarships through outside organizations. If you'll be attending a Non-Yale program, be sure to check with your study abroad provider to see if they might offer funding opportunities. Keep in mind that external funding application deadlines can be much earlier than those at Yale.
