• UMSL Global offers a number of scholarships to help cover the costs of study abroad programs. You can learn more about these scholarships and the process for applying to them on the Scholarships page of Triton Globetrotter.
  • Other departments and offices on campus may offer scholarships for study abroad. Check with Student Financial Services to learn more about those.
  • There are many organizations outside of UMSL that offer scholarships for studying abroad. We have some listed on our Scholarships page of Triton Globetrotter. A simple Google search is also a good place to start.

In most cases students can use their financial aid for study abroad. If you plan to use financial aid for study abroad, make an appointment with the appropriate financial aid coordinator:

  • All applicants will be charged an application fee once they have submitted an application. You are only charged the fee once per term in which you apply, regardless of the number of applications you submit.
  • For exchange programs and nearly all faculty-led programs, UMSL Global will charge tuition to the students’ accounts for the appropriate semester. This tuition is treated like tuition for any UMSL class: the same rates, the same Cashiers Office payment schedule.
  • Most faculty-led programs also require a program fee to cover expenses. UMSL Global will charge the program fee to the students’ accounts for the appropriate semester. Once charged to the student’s account, payments must be made on the normal Cashiers Office payment schedule.
  • Provider program participants are not charged tuition or a program fee by UMSL Global. Instead, they pay fees directly to the program provider.
  • You will have expenses not covered by tuition and/or the program fee, such as airfare, course materials, meals, etc. that you must purchase on your own.
  • Your program’s homepage has a budget sheet listing estimates for these costs in order to give you a better idea of the full cost of a program. These are listed in the “Non-billable” section of the budget sheet.
