to complement your academic and personal interests. Some programs also
offer the option of staying with a host family, internship opportunities, and/
or intensive language study. Whichever program and features you select, we
believe you will find the journey to be a catalyst for your personal growth,
a time to engage with a foreign culture, and an amazing environment for
enjoying countless experiences with new lifelong friends!

Ta bl e o f Co nt ent s
It is a good idea to apply early. Early application allows your financial aid office
to complete the review of your eligibility for financial aid and to get all of the
paperwork done. Be sure to apply to the financial aid office on your home
campus no later than fifteen weeks prior to departure.
• Gain an international dimension and a global perspective in your major.
• Expand your range of course options and develop a global résumé.
• Experience the increasing interdependence of the United States with other countries.
It is possible for students to use some or all of their federal financial aid for study
abroad. Here are some facts you should know:
• Explore the role you can play in the global community.
• Meet local students, host families, and townspeople, and immerse yourself in the life of the host country.
• Financial aid may be used for study abroad, including summer study, as long
as you are enrolled for academic credit and meet other requirements—these
will vary by school, so contact your financial aid office. Both direct costs
(instructional costs, room and board) and indirect costs (books, airfare, personal
spending, etc.) of a study abroad program can be included to calculate a student’s
financial aid package.
• Enjoy new and different activities.
• Sharpen interpersonal and communication skills through interacting with people from backgrounds
different from your own.
• Improve your ability to use a foreign language in many programs.
• Expand your career choices and clarify your personal goals.
• Option of living with a host family: many programs feature this option, which accelerates foreign
language acquisition and gives in-depth knowledge of another culture.
• Access to student services: CCIS programs offer features such as orientation, on-site
support and academic counseling, social activities, field trips, and excursions.
• Wide range of courses: curricular options may include intensive foreign language courses as well as
courses in the humanities and social sciences, physical sciences, business, studio art and design,
and marketing—all taught in English.
• Entry in programs at all language levels: foreign language courses in non-English speaking countries
are a part of many programs; students can start at any level, from elementary to advanced.
• Competitive costs: costs are moderate and vary by duration and location.
• Assistance with credit transfer.
• Eligibility for many forms of financial aid.

Why Choose CCIS?
• Choice of 93 study abroad programs in 27 countries around the world for a semester, summer,
or full academic year.
• There are many forms of aid. Check with your financial aid office about federal
forms of aid, including grants and loans, as well as forms of state or institutional
aid.
• Seek approval for your participation in a study abroad program from your advisor
or other appropriate faculty member or administrator on your campus. Once
your home institution has granted approval for participation in a study abroad
program, and if you are otherwise eligible to receive financial aid, then federal
forms of financial aid can be applied toward the cost of a study abroad program.
• You must apply through your home institution to receive financial aid for any
study abroad program you choose; once your aid package is awarded, you are
responsible for making certain that all funds are forwarded to the appropriate
US institution that sponsors the study abroad program.

Facts You Need to Know: Financial Aid and Study Abroad
A Step-By-Step Guideline to the CCIS Application Process
Step 1: Take some time to read through the CCIS catalog or visit our website at www.ccisabroad.org
to find the program(s) that interest you, and then contact the US sponsoring institution(s) directly to
request program details, including courses offered, costs, dates, housing information and application
materials (contact information is provided on page 36).
Ap p li c a t i on Proc e s s
Step 2: Contact your study abroad advisor or your academic dean to discuss the program you have selected.
Review the courses offered by the program to ensure that you will receive full academic credit for courses
taken overseas. Ask the program contact person at the US sponsoring institution to explain how grades/
credits will be reported.
Step 3: Submit your application for the program:
If your school is a member of CCIS: submit the completed materials to your study abroad advisor or
academic dean on campus (for a list of member institutions see inside back cover, or visit http://www.
ccisabroad.org/member_institutions.htm).
If your school is not a member of CCIS: mail the completed materials to the sponsoring institution.
Your CCIS study abroad application should include:
• CCIS Study Abroad Application (from the program contact person or the CCIS website).
• CCIS Confidential Recommendation Forms (from the program contact person or the CCIS website).
• Copies of your most current college transcripts for all collegiate level courses taken.
• Additional forms specific to some CCIS programs
Step 4: Secure financial arrangements for the program. DO THIS EARLY! If you are using financial aid to help
pay for study abroad, meet with your financial aid officer and your study abroad advisor or academic dean.
For information about financial aid eligibility, see page 5 of the catalog.
Step 5: When you have been accepted into the program, work with your advisor and the program contact person
to register for courses overseas. Also, make arrangements to register for classes on your home campus for the
term after you study abroad.

and artistic heritage, and role in today’s Italy. After living and studying in these varied
landscapes, students come away with unique insights into the diversity and unity of another
culture. In program courses designed to highlight interesting issues that intersect with the

relations between cultures, ancient Rome as an inspiration for later Italian culture, Italian
gastronomic geography, and the ways writing can capture engagement with new places.
