Show me the Money! Info Session on how to pay for Study Abroad/Exchanges (for any undergraduate student) CSUEB Study Abroad will provide an information session for students interested in studying overseas and how to pay for it. After a quick overview of all the places you can go to get a cultural experience and academic credit while studying abroad/away, we will discuss scholarships and finances so you understand the financial commitment and how affordable study abroad can be. Attending an information session does not commit you to study abroad but it does give you the tools to find the program and funding options that best fits your academic and financial needs. |
