How much will it cost?
For semester or academic year programs, you will pay Wooster’s tuition and your financial aid will still apply. The biggest differences in cost will be dictated by the cost of living in your host city/country. Each program on our Endorsed Program List will have an estimated cost breakdown to help you in selecting an affordable option. Note: Wooster financial aid does not apply to third-party provider summer programs.
Please see our Billing Policies for more information.
Here is a budget worksheet to help you plan your budget.
Scholarships & Grants
If you study for a semester or an academic year, all grants and scholarships that you normally receive as part of your financial aid package will still apply to your tuition.
Program providers also will have scholarships available. Please be sure to check your program provider’s website for more detailed information.
Summer Programs
For summer programs, your Wooster financial aid is not available. Please check with your program provider for scholarship opportunities.
TREK Programs
For TREK programs, there will be limited financial aid from The College of Wooster available. These scholarships are typically need based.
