If you are a college or university student who receives federal loans, you can use those loans to pay for your Therapy Abroad program if you are receiving college credit from your school for your participation.
For more information on receiving credit please email us at [email protected]. Federal student loans, sometimes called Direct Loans, Stafford Loans, or Perkins Loans, can be used to pay for education-related expenses, including “reasonable costs associated with a study abroad program approved for credit at the student’s home institution.”
Even if you are not receiving loans, or are unable to use them for your program, you should talk to your financial aid office or study abroad office about other possible sources of funding that are available, including grants and scholarships. In some cases, Therapy Abroad students have received full scholarships for their program including flights.
