Scholarships and Funding
COST & FUNDING
The student cost indicated for each immersion will cover food, lodging, and transportation (within immersion location) associated with the trip. Please note that at this time, the costs of airfare, and additional costs of supplies, checked baggage, airport food, vaccines, visa, passports, and personal purchases at the immersion site will need to be paid by the student participant in addition to the program fee.
Scholarships & Financial Aid
Each year, thanks to our gracious donors, we are able to give out grants and scholarships to students that demonstrate passion, and who without financial assistance, would not be able to participate in the Immersions. All scholarships go towards the program fees, students are expected to cover flights and units.
As part of the online application, students may request financial assistance if they have demonstrated financial need. These requests are reviewed in collaboration with the Financial Aid Office and the University Ministry staff. If you anticipate that financial barriers may affect your ability to participate, we encourage you to reach out and contact us at um@usfca.edu.
Fundraising guide.
We know that sometimes even with Financial Assistance it is hard to make ends meet for an international trip, that is why we have put together a Fundraising guide to help you meet your goals. (updated Fall 2020)
