Kent State Financial Aid Counselors work specifically with education abroad students to help them construct a plan to finance the costs of education abroad. They are available for consultation with you and your students. Please communicate any changes to cost information or deadlines to them so they can properly advise your students. If you have any questions or if you would like to invite a Financial Aid Counselor to an information session for your program, please reach out to finaideducationabroad@kent.edu.
Deposits
If your program requires a deposit before the term begins, and the student plans on using financial aid to pay for the deposit, they can reach out to the One Stop for Student Services or visit the Student Financial Aid webpage for information on applying for additional aid. Students can find more information on the Education Abroad and Financial Aid website.
Summer Billing
Please note that in the summer, there are no payment plans, and intersession students will not see their financial aid disburse until 10 days before the start of Summer I classes (after intersession has ended). This could affect students who are expecting a financial aid refund to use towards their education abroad program.
