Students studying abroad for Smith credit are billed the Smith Comprehensive Fee (tuition, room and board), and Smith will pay the tuition, room and board charges assessed by the study abroad program. Please read The Guide to Home School Fees which explains which costs Smith covers and which costs are the responsibility of the student.
Important costs that are not included in the comprehensive fee are program application fees, passports, visas and immunizations, health insurance, airfare, room and board costs during program breaks, and books and personal expenses. Students must consider these additional costs when planning their study abroad experience.

Smith students are eligible for financial aid on the same basis as when they are studying in Northampton (with a few exceptions, see below).
For questions about Smith Financial Aid related to study abroad, please visit Student Financial Services.
The Office for International Study awards partial funding for airfare expenses to students with high financial need studying in places other than the UK. Students need not apply; all students who are eligible will receive an airfare stipend.
Every year Smith students successfully apply for study abroad scholarships and fellowships. Please consult Student Financial Services to discuss how an award will affect your Smith financial aid package and your bill. See the Student Financial Services outside aid page.
Study abroad providers including IFSA/Butler, Arcadia, IES, and CIEE have scholarships and funding for students attending their programs; please check with your study abroad program for scholarship opportunities. There are also many foundations that provide funding to students for study abroad. Explore the links on the Funding for Study Abroad page for more information.
It remains the student's responsibility to notify Student Financial Services and the Office for International Study of any outside awards that she receives.
The Trustees Grant for Northampton Residents cannot be used for study abroad. Tuition Exchange programs can be used only for a Smith JYA program, and not for study on an approved program. Students who are dependents of Smith faculty or staff may receive a 60% tuition waiver study on a Smith JYA or consortium program. For approved programs, the tuition waiver is 40%.
