Tuition and Program Fee


Program costs are estimates and subject to change up to the program commitment deadline.

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.

All students are assessed the standard University Park tuition. Non-Pennsylvania residents participating on this program will also be credited an amount in the "Beginning Balance" of their semester bills which, when subtracted from the Non-Pennsylvania tuition rate, reflects a net tuition equal to the established Pennsylvania resident tuition rate.

The Education Abroad Program Fee includes:

  • Housing
  • Some meals
  • On-site orientation and support
  • Some field trips
This budget shows estimated costs for students living in an apartment. Students should budget $1,350 for meals in the apartment option. Students who select a homestay option will have 2 meals a day provided, so the out-of-pocket meal expenses would be less than the $1,350 for the homestay option. 

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 IES withdrawal and refund policies.

For more information, please consult the University Senate Policy on Withdrawal and Leave of Absence.


Meals


Meals vary by housing type:
  • Homestays provide two meals per day
  • Apartments provide no meals
