A student who is normally eligible for federal financial aid will, in most cases, be able to use every single penny of the financial aid he/she gets to cover the cost of a Brockport study abroad program.
And...in cases where the total cost (including such things as transportation, meals and some personal expenses such as books) of the study abroad program turns out to be more than the cost of a semester at the home campus, additional financial aid is usually available to cover those additional costs.
This applies to all students on Brockport study abroad programs, from any college or university in America.
For more information, contact:
The Office of Financial Aid on your home campus,
The Office of International Education at Brockport.
