Tuition and Program Fee
As institutions around the world determine program costs at different times, it is difficult for Education Abroad to provide actual cost information until shortly before the beginning of a program. You are encouraged to consult this document on a regular basis as it is frequently updated with the most current cost information and billing information available.
Students are assessed the standard University Park Penn State Tuition and Technology Fee, an Education Abroad Administrative Fee, and an Education Abroad Program Fee.
The program fee includes:
- Housing
- On-site orientation and support
- Some field trips
Student Visa Cost
The actual cost of the visa will vary depending on the type of visa required and the student's country of citizenship. The Consulate General of the host country reserves the right to change their visa fees without prior notice. For exact pricing, students should contact directly the nearest Consulate for the host country.
Program Withdraw/Refund Policy
Regardless of the reason and effective date of withdrawal, it is the responsibility of students to immediately notify Education Abroad in writing and to understand the implications of their withdrawal actions.
The Education Abroad Administrative fee will be assessed to students' bursar bill regardless of the reason and effective date of withdrawal.
In certain cases, partial program expenses may be refundable but only to extent that Education Abroad can recover expenses incurred on behalf of the student.
Any adjustment of tuition charges will be made according to the Tuition Adjustment Schedule as determined by the Office of the Bursar.
Students should also consult CIEE withdrawal and refund policies.
For more information, please consult the University Senate Policy on Withdrawal and Leave of Absence.
Meals
Students have the option of living in an apartment or with a host family. This budget sheet includes and estimate for meals for students who live in an apartment. Students selecting the apartment option need to budget for all meals, as they are not included in the program fee. The homestay option includes two meals a day with the host family and most meals on the weekends. Students are responsible for weekly lunches and should budget approximately $1,200 for meals.
