CAN FINANCIAL AID APPLY TO STUDY ABROAD ? 
Yes, it can. Some to all of your financial aid may apply to your study abroad program.

I HAVE NEVER RECIVED FINANCIAL AID BEFORE, AM I ELIGIBLE ?
You might be. Since study abroad usually involves higher costs, you may have increased financial need. Consider a federal education loan, you may be eligible. We do not recommend financing study abroad with credit. Visit your home school financial aid office for advice.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDY ABROAD FROM MY HOME COLLEGE ?
Contact your home school's Financial Aid office. Some universities and colleges will allow you to apply for some or all of your institutional aid as well as your federal aid for your study abroad program costs. Others will process federal loans to help you finance your study abroad through UW-Platteville in the form of a Consortium Agreement.

WHAT IF MY HOME INSTITUTION WON'T GIVE ME FINANCIAL AID TO STUDY ABROAD ?
You might still be able to obtain financial aid funding by applying directly to UW-Platteville as a "full admit" student. UW-Platteville can process federal and state funds for which you are eligible, including the Federal Stafford Loan, the Federal PLUS (parent) loan, and the Federal Pell Grant.
