Financial Aid, Scholarships

Financing Study Abroad

One common issue students face is how they will finance their study abroad adventure. Compared to a semester at Brookdale, study abroad may seem expensive; however, it could be less than or comparable to tuition, fees, and housing at a four-year university.

When you consider the career benefits that await study abroad alumni, the investment you will make in your study abroad experience will be worth it!

Apply for Financial Aid

If you’ve never applied for assistance, do it! Apply at: studentaid.gov.

In many cases, federal grants and loans can be applied to the cost of your study abroad program.

To learn about financial aid, stop by the OneStop Center in the CAR building, visit the Financial Aid website, or call 732-224-2361.
