Costs
You've explored our Geneva Education Abroad Program Information and you're excited for life in Geneva. Now it's time to decide how to finance your semester in Switzerland.
The cost for your participation in the Geneva Semester will include the following items.
Here are a few thing to keep in mind while you look over the program costs.
- These costs do not include food and travel or airfare to group flight departure points and other incidentals.
- These estimates are not guaranteed for future semesters.
- Most Kent State University scholarships will apply to study abroad costs and federal financial aid will apply. KSU students click HERE to view the Kent State Financial Aid website and contact Tara Jackson at 330-672-2972 (tjackson@kent.edu) to request an appointment to review your funding options. For non-Kent students, contact your university's financial aid office as most of your scholarships and federal aid will apply. Please remember to apply early if you are planning to apply for financial aid or loans.
