Financing and Scholarship
Semester
Students who study abroad through Fairfield University for a semester on an approved program are charged regular Fairfield tuition. Housing and meal charges will vary by location. All Fairfield scholarships and aid, including federal funds, can be used towards study abroad expenses for one semester with the exceptions of athletic scholarships, tuition remission, FACHEX, tuition exchange and work-study monies. With the approval of the Associate Vice Provost for Global Strategy, students with Modern Language, International Business, and International Studies majors may use Fairfield University financial aid for two semesters abroad on select programs. Students who study abroad on a semester/year program are required to submit a $1,000 housing commitment fee upon commitment. This fee is part of the total tuition cost during the semester the student is abroad and this the student account will reflect this payment. Questions about semester billing should be directed to the Fairfield University Office of the Bursar. The Monthly Tuition Payment Plan is available.
