External Scholarship Opportunities
Our affiliated external provider programs offer scholarships and program fee reductions to MSUM students who choose one of their programs (AIFS, CEA, ISA, KEI, SOL, USAC).
MSUM financial aid, in general, applies toward the cost of studying abroad. You can meet with a Financial Aid officer individually, since the types and amounts of aid received vary case by case.
If you are a military veteran, you can use your benefits on certain kinds of programs. Contact our office, Financial Aid, and the Veteran’s Resource Center for details.
Students need to make and stick to a spending budget while abroad to ensure they’ll have enough funds for the entire duration.
Some students arrange with their bank for a family member to have access to their account while away, in order to make deposits if necessary.
