Financial Aid

Financing your semester abroad may seem like an overwhelming task. The Office of Off-Campus Programs/ International Studies is commited to making this process as smooth as possible while providing you with information about financing opportunites.

Bethel Programs and Bethel Affiliated Programs

The overall cost typically includes tuition, room and board, and in-country travel.  Financial aid that is currently being received will directly apply to a semester spent off-campus. 

Non-Affiliated Programs

The cost will vary depending on the different programs and so do the scholarship options.  For most non-affiliated partners, the student is responsible to pay Bethel's tuition, the programs room and board, and their airfare.  We encourage you to meet with a study abroad advisor to discuss the specifics of the organization that you may be working with as your provider.
