Can I use FAFSA to study abroad?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, the FAFSA application can be utilized for studying abroad, as long as the program is affiliated with an eligible institution that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Many universities partner with foreign institutions to offer students international programs. To qualify for federal financial aid through FAFSA while studying abroad, the student usually needs to be enrolled at a home institution that grants the federal aid and must also receive credit for their international study. It is important for students to ensure that the programs they are considering are eligible and to confirm the specific financial aid options available for their chosen study abroad program. The financial aid office at the home institution can provide detailed information on how students may use their FAFSA benefits in conjunction with studying abroad. Additionally, the official website of FAFSA or studentaid.gov can offer relevant resources and guidance on this topic, including eligibility questions and application procedures.
