Your first step in learning about study abroad opportunities at DePaul is to visit the Study Abroad website.
DePaul-sponsored study abroad programs allow you to study off-campus in an approved program through DePaul. This is the most common and often the most affordable study abroad option for DePaul students who are receiving financial aid, as funds apply to these programs. Note: Students pursuing
external study abroad programs for transfer credit are not able to use DePaul grants and scholarships or any federal/state aid. They pay out-of-pocket directly to the external program. Upon return, students can work with Financial Aid to reinstate their aid.
Scholarship and Grant Opportunities
DePaul scholarships and grants generally apply to any approved DePaul sponsored study abroad program. For additional study abroad scholarship opportunities, please visit the
Study Abroad website.
Student Loan Resources Available
Undergraduate Students:

Graduate and Law Students:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans and the Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loans are the most common student loan resources for graduate and professional study abroad opportunities.
