How can I get financial aid to study abroad?

I just got accepted into an engineering program in australia and I was wondering if I can get financiail aid for the full three year program. A lot of what I have seen is for semesters abroad but none for the full tuition. What kind of funding options do I have?

How can I get financial aid to study abroad?

U SHOUID HAVE TECHNICAL ABILITIES AS A SOPHMORE,
Reply:Tips:


Be open minded.


Find exactly what the program offers and what is expected of you and where are you going to live?


Learn as much as you can about the country and its customs.


Make sure you have money to spend.


Expect things to be very different than what you are used to at home (this is the biggest mistake kids make!)


beware of the drinking and smoking laws and obey them.


Try to get along with the family and follow their rules.
Reply:I agree with Feisty, you should at least seriously consider 1) going for a whole year and 2) going to a non-English speaking country. Think about it -- how many times will you have the opportunity to live abroad and learn a new language while fully immersed in the culture? Not many, let me tell you. It only gets more difficult to arrange as an adult.





I know a year sounds like a long time to be away, but what often happens with students that only go for a semester is that they are just starting to feel comfortable, learning the language, making friends, etc., and then they have to go home! Being there for a year lets you really experience the whole thing.





There are scholarships for many exchange programs, but as you can imagine, they're hard to get because everyone wants one. It's possible (but pretty difficult) to win a full scholarship. No one except your parents or a scholarship will pay for your year, and no one (probably not even your parents) will pay you to go. One more advantage to going for a whole year instead of just a semester is that oftentimes the semester programs are only a couple thousand dollars less than the full year program. In other words, a year program might cost around $9,000 with AFS or YFU, and a semester program might cost $7,000. It's totally worth it to do the whole year!

Reply:yes u can
Reply:Go to the Internet and search for the school you interested in and find out if you meet the school's entry requirements.


If you meet that then find out the visa requirement to enter your country of interest. Good lucky!
Reply:Yes, I actually have several tips for you!





1. Wait until you are a junior and go for an entire year. For one, application deadlines have passed for next year for many organizations -- especially if you are applying for scholarships.





2. Don't go to Australia! I have nothing against Australia, but one of the major benefits of an exchange is language immersion. If you go to Australia, you don't get the benefit of a second language.





3. Make sure you pick a reliable program. It should be CSIET listed (www.csiet.org). Those are programs certified to operate in the U.S. Also check with your school counselor for a recommendation. A program is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, AFS, Aspect, Rotary and YFU are reliable everywhere.





4. Many programs offer scholarships. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. There are NO programs that will send you for free ... and why should they? Nothing that is totally free is valued. If you don't have the money this year, work for it and go next year.





5. As for the exchange experience itself, I could type you a whole list, instead I'll send you over to Exchange Student World, an online community of current and former exchange students. http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/





Good luck and I hope you have a great time!


How do I apply for a study abroad in High School or an exchange program?

I'm really interested in going to Japan and I want to experience the schooling and life for quite awhile. I'm not at ALL close to fluent in Japanese but I want to learn, so I'm trying my best to achieve that goal. What I don't know though is what will happen...

How do I apply for a study abroad in High School or an exchange program?
The best place to start is with your guidance counselor. I don't know what the grade structure is to become a exchange student, so I won't even try to steer you in a direction I know little about.





Perhaps you would need to know a bit of Japanese in order to even be considered. Once again, I'm simply guessing.





Good Luck!


How are the study abroad programs through college?

im about to be a senior and i have two choices for college.. a state school, or going to a comunity college and then going abroad to italy. its a big choice. opinions?


college expierience now when im young, travel later?


or travel when im young?

How are the study abroad programs through college?
While I understand that this is a huge choice for you. There is nothing saying you can't go to a state school and study abroad. There are numerous exchange programs through colleges that would be the same as your tuition. Scholarships and financial aid usually transfer for these programs. The program I went on was through a different college than the one I was attending. Due to the fact that we had an exchange policy for them I was able to go abroad for the same price it would have cost me to be on campus that year.

Is it a good idea for me to do study abroad in france for nine months, and then spain for nine months?

I am getting a degree in international business, and want to improve my spanish and french, because i already have taken four years of each in school. Will 9 months in each of these countries be enough to let me speak pretty good spanish, and french?

Is it a good idea for me to do study abroad in france for nine months, and then spain for nine months?
That will really be enough to improve your language abilities.





Its interesting too! http://www.campusfrance.org/en for further help regarding FRANCE.





All the best!
Reply:Yeah I think 9 months will improve your Spanish and French a lot. Wow..I always wanted to go to Europe. You're really lucky if you go. I can't afford to study abroad. I wish I could. But good things always happen to other people, never to me....
Reply:yes, you have a career path that may admire. i think it will improve it tremendously,. I always stress if you want to be fluent in a language immerse yourself into it vs. learning in a class and not applying in real world situations. however , don't get hooked or tired and seek out only English speaking people. You will see a major difference how your thoughts will be in another language and your English accent may change. too. it's very interesting. There are some courses in Spanish and France in each country listed below just in case.
