Financial Aid
Financial assistance is available when students make appropriate arrangements with Office of Study Abroad and MSU's Office of Financial Aid. All students planning to use financial aid toward a study abroad program must indicate their intentions on the study abroad application. Non-MSU students should check with their home institution's financial aid office.

Additionally, MSU students may apply for scholarships and grants offered through the Office of Study Abroad. Requirements are listed in the application instructions for each type of award.
