The information below is only applicable to Faculty-Led programs.

Accessing the Application

Education Abroad launches all faculty-led programs for an academic year by early September. Make sure to check back often to explore all the program options that await! Once you find your program:

1. Connect with the faculty member to learn about the program
2. Start your application
3. Apply to scholarships

Be prepared to:

• Pay the non-refundable administrative fee
• Sign the financial responsibility statement
• Sign the responsibilities of participation and code of conduct

Notifications & Enrollment

Acceptance notifications are sent out as soon as Education Abroad receives the admission decision from the faculty leader. Students must log in and commit to the program, at which time they have access to pay the program fees. Education Abroad requires a minimum of 10 participants on a faculty-led program. If the program is canceled due to low enrollment, Education Abroad will work to refund payments received.
