Financial Aid for Study Abroad
 
A reminder to students studying abroad on non-UGA programs:
You will need to take a copy of your completed Credit Approval Form
(CAF) to the Office of Student Financial Aid in order to receive your
HOPE or other financial aid for study abroad. When you drop your CAF off
at the Office of International Education in 201 Barrow Hall, ask for a
copy.  Students currently receive $96 a credit hour for HOPE. Students
on other financial aid besides HOPE need to take at least 6 hours during
the summer to be eligible to receive aid.

We recommend that you get a free hotmail account while you are studying
abroad in order to be able to communicate with your friends and family

using any web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer) from any machine
