IMPORTANT NOTE:
The price of quarter, semester, and summer study abroad programs is set by the Board of Trustees. Prices are established based upon the principle that the cost of SCU-operated programs and exchanges should be comparable to the cost of a quarter's tuition and accommodations on campus. The price of affiliated programs is based upon SCU tuition plus housing, program fees, and additional administrative costs. Due to these additional expenses, in many cases the price for affiliated programs charged by SCU will be greater than "wholesale price" advertised by the program provider. The difference in price is due to the additional costs to SCU which include site visit travel, risk management, academic assessment/accreditation, on-site student support activities, consortium membership fees, and other expenses unique to affiliated programs.SCU-Operated Programs Fees

Affiliated Summer Programs Fees
SCU students enroll and pay tuition and fees directly to the provider institution for summer affiliated study abroad programs.
Participants in affiliated summer programs will still be able to earn major, minor, and core credits consistent with existing academic policies. However, SCU offers no financial aid for summer terms and students are billed directly by the providers for all expenses.
Financing Study Abroad
Financial aid and scholarships are available for SCU-operated programs, exchanges, and affiliated quarter and semester programs. Study abroad students need to work directly with the Financial Aid Office on available financial aid options including grants, scholarships, loans, etc. Once the aid package has been accepted by the student, that financial aid will be automatically used for the study abroad fees.
Study abroad students may also apply for other aid available outside of the University's official financial aid offerings. Read more
Housing & Program Fees
All University fees including the standard study abroad fees are set by the Board of Trustees. Prices are based on the basic standard double occupancy room on the Santa Clara campus. In keeping with Santa Clara’s academic immersion goals, the pricing structure also encourages maximum interaction with local residents. Study abroad students are billed via ecampus the normal Santa Clara tuition for the quarter plus a "Housing & Program Fees." The Trustee’s pricing policy requires that only minimum housing and required meal plans (when available) are included in the SCU price. Any alternative housing or meal plan as well as any optional non-curricular travel, is not included in the SCU price and is the responsibility of the student to pay directly to the program provider. Please review this page to avoid any confusion between the cost of the program as advertised by the providers and the actual fees billed to your ecampus account as set by the SCU Board of Trustees. For information on housing options, contact the provider. Read more
