After my tuition and program fees have been paid, how can I access any remaining financial aid funds to help with my other expenses?
When you are applying for your funds for study abroad, be sure to ask your financial aid officer this question. You may need to fill out forms with the financial aid office or with your bursar’s office to designate how and where excess funds are sent. You may need to give a designated person (for example, a family member or a person you trust) the power to act on your behalf to deposit a check for you in an account from which you can draw funds. It’s important to find this out well before you go abroad. The last thing you want is to find that you arrive at your program site and don’t have a way to access the funds you were planning to use for your living expenses on the program.
