To help reduce the cost of studying abroad, students may apply for loans or grants, including Pell, HOPE and Stafford loans.
Also, for the first time, a work-study program entitled STARS* (Students Abroad with Regents Support) is available. Through this program students are able to earn up to $500 per semester. That is $6 an hour with a maximum of 19 hours per week.
There is not an actual deadline for the program; however, the longer people wait to apply, the less money will be available to earn.
Applications can be picked up on the Study Abroad bulletin board in the F-Wing or from Dr. Alberta Johnson, study abroad coordinator, who may be contacted by phone at 706-368-7638 or 1-800-332-2406 or by email at [email protected]. |
