For UC Berkeley Students
To determine your financial aid eligibility for a Summer Abroad or Global Internships program, review the financial aid information for Study Abroad and consult with the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. When the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office calculates the amount of aid offered for participation in a program, they consider not only the tuition and program fee charges but also any out-of-pocket expenses they anticipate students may incur during the program, such as housing, living expenses, and textbooks.
The charges posted directly to your CalCentral account for the tuition and the program fee are different from the total cost of attendance.
If you require financial aid to participate in a program, it is your responsibility to confirm your aid package in advance of any program deadlines. Inability to pay the program cost is not a valid reason to receive a refund of the fees associated with your program.
Receiving a financial aid package estimate: If you wish to receive a financial aid package estimate, please fill out this form (CalNet Authentication required). You will receive an email with your financial aid estimate (please allow a minimum of one week for response).
If you have a specific question about a study abroad financial aid issue you are encountering, please email TravelAid@berkeley.edu. Please do not email to request a financial aid estimate, these requests should be made using the form above.
Financial aid eligibility during the summer is based on a minimum of 6-unit course enrollment. Canceling from, or being dismissed from a study abroad program may have implications for your financial aid awards. Please check with Financial Aid Counselors to see how this may impact you.
For non-UC Berkeley Students
