About $6600 (U.S. dollars), not including airfare and meals.

All in, after something like $1400 for airfare from Texas, and maybe a similar amount spent on meals , plus some walking around money, and you\’re looking at something like  nine or 10 large. Higher tuition rates make the cost for graduate students about $300 higher. It\’s a lot of money, no two ways about it.

A study abroad program of this type is not cheap. But it\’s worth it. You were going to spend the tuition and food part of that money anyway 🙂 Meanwhile, you also will have gone to another country, learned about culture and people in a way that wouldn\’t be possible in San Marcos, and became a more cosmopolitan, interesting human being. Money well spent.

This study abroad program is eligible for almost all of the usual financial aid programs that you use for regular coursework and costs on campus. Texas State also has a pool of funds dedicated specifically to IEFS study abroad scholarships this year. The deadline to apply for that one is usually sometime in February. For more information about financial aid and scholarships for study abroad, see the Texas State Education Abroad financial assistance page.
