Facts You Need to Know: Financial Aid and Study Abroad

The following Web site provides

useful information and outlines

resources available for financial aid:

http://www.finaid.org

Recent changes in federal law have made it possible for students to use some or all of their federal financial aid for study abroad. Here are some facts you should know:

• Financial aid may be used for study abroad. Both direct costs (instructional costs abroad, room and board) and indirect costs (books, fees, airfare, departure taxes, estimated ground transpor-tation costs, and personal spend-ing) of a study abroad program are included to calculate a student’s financial aid package. Once the amount of need and the student’s own contribution is determined, some students may receive federal grants or loans equal to or even greater than they receive while studying at their home institu-tions.

• There are many forms of aid. Check with your financial aid office about federal forms of aid, including grants and loans, as well as forms of state or institutional aid that may also be available for study abroad.

• Seek approval for your participa-tion in a study abroad program from your advisor or other appropriate faculty member or administrator on campus. Once your home institution has granted approval for participation in a study abroad program, and if you are otherwise eligible to receive financial aid, then federal forms of financial aid must be applied toward the cost of a study abroad program.

• You must apply through your home institution to receive finan-cial aid for any study abroad program you choose; once your aid package is awarded, you are responsible for making certain that all funds are forwarded to the appropriate U.S. institution which sponsors the study abroad program.

• Financial aid can be used to sup-port summer study, as long as you are enrolled for academic credit and you meet all the other require-ments.

• It is a good idea to apply early. Early application allows your financial aid office to complete the review of your eligibility for financial aid and to get all of the paperwork done. Be sure to apply no later than fifteen weeks prior to departure.

• Students from CCIS member institutions (see page on member-ship) can get help in applying for financial aid from their own study abroad and financial aid offices. Students from non-member insti-tutions will find that the staff working with students going abroad at the CCIS sponsoring institutions can be of invaluable assistance in working through the process of applying for aid.

Step 1: When you initially contacted CCIS, did you request information about a particular program or country?

Yes, I have requested specific program information. You will receive a follow-up mailing directly from the U.S. institution that sponsors the program(s) of

interest, which includes detailed costs and dates, course and housing information, and application materials. If you do not receive the information within two weeks, please contact the U.S. sponsoring institution directly (contact information is provided on each program page in the brochure).

No, I have not requested specific program information. Take some time and read through the CCIS Brochure to find programs that interest you, and then contact

the U.S. sponsoring institutions directly to receive program details, including course information and application materials (contact information is provided on each program page in the brochure).

Step 2: Contact your study abroad advisor or your academic dean to discuss the program you have selected. Review the courses offered by the program to ensure that you will receive full academic credit for courses taken overseas. Ask the program contact person to explain how grades/credits will be reported.

Step 3: Submit your application for the program (see the inside back cover of the CCIS Brochure for a list of member institutions):

If your school is a member of CCIS: Submit the completed materials to your study abroad advisor or academic dean on campus.

If your school is not a member of CCIS: Mail the completed materials to the sponsoring institution (the program contact person). DO NOT send your

application to the CCIS office in Washington, DC.

Your CCIS Study Abroad Application should include:

•CCIS Study Abroad Application (from the program contact person or the CCIS Web site).

•Completed Recommendation Forms (from the program contact person or the CCIS Web site).

•Copies of your most current college transcripts for all collegiate level courses taken.

•Additional forms specific to some CCIS programs.

Step 4: Secure financial arrangements for the program. DO THIS EARLY! If you are using financial aid to help pay for study abroad, meet with your financial aid officer and your study abroad advisor or academic dean. For information about financial aid eligibility, see page 3 of the CCIS Brochure.

Step 5: When you have been accepted into the program, work with your advisor and the program contact person to register for courses overseas. Also, make arrangements to register for classes on-campus for the term after you study abroad.

iaSalzburgSalzburg is considered by many to be one

of the most beautiful cities in Europe. With

a population of about 150,000, Salzburg

is situated in the heart of Europe on the

northern edge of the eastern Alps right at

the Austrian-German border. Surrounded

by picturesque mountains, the city still

mirrors in its historical center - a declared

UNESCO World Heritage Site - more than

a thousand years of European history and

culture. Its rich and vibrant cultural heritage

is reflected in concerts, festivals and a great

variety of events throughout the year. All of

the above make Salzburg the ideal setting for

a “European experience.”

Ideally located for travel, Salzburg is less than

three hours by train from Vienna, only two

hours from Munich, and an overnight train

ride from Paris or Venice. Several Eastern

European countries are within easy reach.

Academic Program Highlights

The program begins with a four-day aca-

demic trip through Bavaria that provides a

hands-on introduction to the region as well

as an opportunity to meet the other stu-

dents. The trip includes visits to Munich and

Neuschwanstein. A basic familiarity with this

geographical area allows students to place

Salzburg and its traditions in their appropri-

ate cultural and historical context.

It is the belief of the faculty and staff at

Salzburg College that students should have

a chance to maximize their learning about

“European affairs” through a variety of

courses depending on their focus of interest

or academic discipline. Therefore, several

areas of concentration are offered, such as

European Studies, Communications and

Marketing, Art and Photography, and Music

(incl. Music Performance).

Classes are small and students receive indi-

vidual attention. Course work is offered in

two six-week terms allowing students to

concentrate on two or three courses of their

Salzburg College

Program Site

Salzburg College is a small, private institu-

tion located in the heart of Salzburg’s Old

City. Salzburg College was founded in

1970 and started out as a classical European

Studies Program. A major objective of the

Salzburg College program is the integration of

classroom study and on-site experience. Small

classes held in English and a dedicated faculty

enhance the individual learning process.

The Salzburg College study center is located

in the heart of the Old City. The close

vicinity of public, educational and cultural

institutions, allows for easy integration of

classroom study and on-site experience that

is a major objective of the Salzburg College

program. The University Library and other

research facilities (e.g. Mozart Archives) are

all located in walking distance. Salzburg

College is also just down the street from the

main intersecting point of the Salzburg pub-

lic bus system which greatly facilitates the

commuting to and from the Austrian host

family homes and the dormitories.

Aix-en-Provence

IAU France—Marchutz School of Art

Program Site

The Institute for American Universities (IAU

France) offers a studio art program in Aix-

en-Provence called The Marchutz School of

Art. It is an art program for all majors, and

is located on Tholonet Road, just outside of

Aix, near the Chateaunoir where Cézanne

lived and worked. Marchutz was founded by

German artist Léo Marchutz in 1971.

Program Highlights

All students interested in art from any

perspective—and regardless of their skill

level—should consider Marchutz. Its innova-

tive interdisciplinary approach to the arts

combines readings in literature and philoso-

phy with studio art training, thereby provid-

ing students with a coherent theoretical and

practical approach to the creative process.

Individual projects in relation to students’

individual goals or fields of study are required

as well. Students who have flourished at

Marchutz majored in Studio art, Art History,

Art Education, Art Therapy, English, French,

Philosophy, and even Bio-Chemistry. In the

studio, figure drawing, portraiture, landscape

and still-life painting are interrelated with

copying, memory work, and sketchbook

journals. Group and individual critiques are

integral to the student’s work. In seminars,

students are asked to seek connections in their

work with that of other artists and critics.

Music, poetry and theater are often compared

to painting, sculpture, or architecture. Studio

disciplines and aesthetics are taught separately,

but presented as a unified corpus. Studio,

writing, history and criticism combine to

form one “seminar in seeing.”

The faculty considers each student as a work-

ing artist regardless of his/her level of experi-

ence. Whether beginning or well advanced,

the student who will thrive at the Marchutz

School is serious and committed. Students

must enroll in the Studio Seminar (6 credits),

the Art Criticism Seminar (3 credits) and

one art history class (3 credits). Museum

and painting excursions are also required.

Marchutz students may choose one or two

French language courses from IAU’s liberal

arts program in Aix-en-Provence, The Aix

Center. A 2.5 GPA is required, along with

transcripts and one letter of recommendation.

The program is open to any student who is

over 18 years at the time of enrollment. Non-

traditional students are encouraged to enroll

as well.

Student Life

Students are housed in French homestays,

which provide daily continental breakfasts

and six dinners per week. Cinemas, restau-

rants, cafés and discotheques, as well as a

variety of sporting events, are available to stu-

dents in the town of Aix-en-Provence.

Note: If you are interested in studying at

Marchutz in the summer, see the summer

Student Life

In both Annecy and Chambéry, students

may be housed in French homestay in

“demi-pension” (breakfast and evening meals

in student residences — usually a studio

with no meals. Students complete a housing

questionnaire to indicate needs and choices

as well as, in the case of homestay, the degree

of involvement desired with hosts. The term

“family” is used loosely, as the possibilities

are many and not limited to “traditional”

families.

International Center for Management and India Studies

Program Site

The International Center for Management

and India Studies is located in Bangalore,

India. Bangalore, in the heart of the Indian

“Silicon Valley,” was recently listed as one of

the top ten “Up and Coming” cities in the

world. India, the oldest democracy in the

world, has an ancient and diverse culture

going back at least 5,000 years.

Bangalore is situated in the heart of the

South Deccan Plateau which is 1,000m

above sea level and it is the fifth largest city

in India. Bangalore, which literally means

the “town of baked beans,” was founded by

Kempe Gowda, a chieftain of the Vijayanagar

Empire, around the 16th century. Bangalore

is the capital of Karnataka.

Bangalore is booming, and a look at some of

its nicknames indicates why: “India’s Silicon

Student Life

Students live in a supervised residence, meals

are catered and housecleaning is done for

them. Co-curricular and extra-curricular

activities are currently available (field trips,

cultural visits, tours, etc.). All study abroad

students will be provided with a city orienta-

tion tour upon arrival. It is MANDATORY

to attend this tour so that students become

oriented to life in Bangalore. Field trips

for study abroad students will be based on

courses and may include city or day tours to

religious, cultural, and historical sites. Short

also included, such as Belur and Mysore.

Valley,” “Fashion Capital of India,” and “The

Pub City of India.” Home to well over 6 mil-

lion people, and a base for 10,000 industries,

Bangalore is the fastest growing city in Asia.

The capital of the state of Karnataka,

Bangalore is situated halfway between two

coasts in southern India. The city was found-

ed in the 16th century, and witnessed great

southern dynasties like the Kadambas, the

Hoysalas and the Vijayanagar emperors.

Surprisingly, despite some adverse environ-

mental impact of industrial development in

Bangalore, another of its nicknames is “The

Garden City” due to the many local parks.

Along with pink cassias, golden acacias and

jacarandas, which bloom throughout the city,

many international visitors come to enjoy the

warm weather year-around.

Last but not least, Bangalore is even gaining

the status of the “Floriculture Capital” due to

the present blossoming of flower exports from

the city. Because of its rich stone resources,

Bangalore is also known as the “Stone City”

for its granite deposits.

Academic Program Highlights

The program is designed for students inter-

ested in participating in an Indian cultural

experience. The program will focus on pro-

viding students opportunities to take courses

in Indian art, history, culture and language.

Students may choose to study Introduction to

Indian History, Fundamentals of Indian Art,

Indian Music, Introduction to Religions of

India, Foreign Language (Indian Languages

Hindi/Kannada), Community Services/

Social Work, Indian Styles of Dance,

Introduction to the Civilization of India,

Hindu Mythology, Indian Literature, and

International Business.

Institute. Our civilization is the end of the

product of the widely contrasting cultures

that evolved over many hundreds of years.

With the Renaissance it became possible

to unite the strands of these cultures in a

new and exciting synthesis, which prepared

the way for the birth of the modern world.

This semester-long study abroad experience

allows students to retrace the steps of Greek,

Etruscan, Roman, medieval and Renaissance

cultures by living and studying in the three

cities which embody these civilizations in all

their richness and splendor: Tuscania, Rome

and Florence for the fall and Tuscania, Rome

and Venice for the spring.

Students spend one month in each loca-

tion and follow a structured program of five

3-credit courses, which together compromise

a unique investigation into the roots of

Western civilization. Classes meet every day

Monday through Thursday for two and a

half hours each, providing a total of 45 con-

tact hours per course. There are two man-

datory 3-credit courses in the first center,

Tuscania: an Italian language course and an

introduction to the ancient civilizations of

the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans.

In the second center, Rome students take

one 3-credit course in the Middle Ages and

the Renaissance and commence a second

3-credit Italian language course which will

continue into the third city. In Florence or

Venice students choose a further 3-credit

course which gives them the opportunity to

explore in-depth a late Renaissance figure

and his links with modernity.

ral resources, strategic studies, and Islamic cul-

ture and arts, and women’s studies. Program
