Financial Aid

Financial aid can be used for our study abroad programs. In fact, 50% of the students enrolled in our programs use financial aid to pay for their international study abroad program. Financial aid usually comes in the form of a student loan and is available to students currently receiving financial aid to pay for their education. Please check with your financial aid office at your college or university to apply for your student loan.

Safety

Safety is the number one priority on all of our international study abroad programs. We do not conduct any programs in countries that are listed by the US State Department with a Travel Warning.

Every program that we offer is led by either Castleton State College professor Jim Hagan or University of Vermont professor Shelley Warren. We depart and return with all students and accompany them during the entire study abroad program. Our destinations are only countries in which we have lived and traveled during the last 25 years.

We provide all parents with an emergency contact list of all hotels with dates and phone numbers so that students can be contacted at all times during their study abroad. We encourage all parents to contact us with any questions about our programs and safety of their students.

Health

We offer a suggested list of immunizations for each particular country of study and require that all students have emergency evacuation insurance.

Program Costs

Please contact us for current particular program costs. With constant changes in airfare and local economies, program costs vary from year to year.
