Most non-OWU financial aid, such as federal government programs (such as Pell), state government programs, and external scholarships (corporate, etc.) will be applied to all approved programs. Federal financial aid will be repackaged for the student's off-campus semester based upon the estimated cost of the student's particular program. Students must contact the Financial Aid Office for information regarding their own situation.
Many of our institutional partners (i.e. AIFS, CEA CAPA, CIEE, etc) award their own financial aid. If a student receives a program scholarship, it will be credited to the student's OWU account only after they have been remitted to OWU and processed. These may have an impact on the packaging of the complete student financial aid package for the semester away. Students should contact the IOCP Office and the Financial Aid Office if they have been notified that they will receiving external financial aid of any kind.
Students receiving tuition remission benefits (OWU employee, GLCA TRE, or TEP) must contact the IOCP office early in the process for information regarding these programs. The rules for billing and financial aid are different -- the benefit does not apply; however, replacement aid is available.
Students are encouraged to apply for additional scholarships. Many students each year benefit from external scholarships that are only available to study abroad students. Access Study Abroad is an OWU Program that provides students with additional assistance and advising in this area. Please also see below for more information.
Students receiving Pell Grants must apply for the US Federal Gilman scholarship program.
Students studying less commonly taught foreign languages must consider applying for a. US Federal Boren scholarship
