Yes, financial aid can potentially be applied as long as the student is studying with a partner university or through an approved third-party provider. Please know that financial aid is not available for students planning to study away during the Winter or Summer terms. However, scholarships are available.
As long as the student is studying with a partner university or through an approved third-party provider, credits will transfer back to Eastern if the grade earned is a C- or higher. During the paperwork process, students complete forms to request that credits at the host university will transfer. The credits are approved or denied per the department chair. Students are notified before leaving as to what credits will transfer back to Eastern and how.
Students participating in a Global Field Course will automatically receive Eastern credit for their course.
Students participating in a Global Field Course are guaranteed to be with other Eastern students. As for National Student Exchange or Study Abroad programs, Eastern students who study away at the same location, during the same term, through the same program will be together.
This varies based on the study away program.
Parents can join meetings with our staff via Microsoft Teams. The student must also be present.
Please schedule a meeting with our Study Abroad staff. Once we have an understanding of where you might want to study away, we can try to connect you with a student who has previously studied away.
