Scholarships
A
passport
is
the
first
step
to
studying
abroad!
If
you
do
not
have
a
passport
yet,
and
receive
need-based
financial
aid
at
CC,
you
may
apply
for
an
Academic
Opportunity
Grant
to
cover
the
cost.
Make sure you've read Colorado College's policies about financial aid transferal to off-campus study, so that you understand what already may be covered, and what you may need to find from external sources. The Cost & Aid Calculation Worksheet is a vital tool to help you figure out what the total cost of your program will be.

Start
with
these
five
funding
steps:
1)
Start
early
-
some
scholarship
and
funding
deadlines
can
be
up
to
a
year
in
advance
of
when
you
plan
to
study
off-campus.
2)
Colorado
College's
Financial
Aid
Office
is
a
resource
for
students
who
receive
financial
aid
currently,
or
wish
to
inquire
about
how
off-campus
study
can
be
made
more
affordable.
3)
Program
providers
(like
IES,
IFSA,
DIS,
HECUA,
etc)
often
have
a
wide
range
of
innovative
and
generous
scholarship
and
funding
options,
both
need
and
merit
based.
Make
sure
to
apply
for
these,
and
pay
attention
to
deadlines!
4)
All
students
should
see
if
their
major
department
at
CC
may
offer
grants
or
funding.
5)
In
addition,
a
searchable
database
of
international
scholarships
can
be
found
at
IEFA
(International
Education
Financial
Aid
Directory):
https://www.iefa.org/,
and
both
GoOverseas
and
StudyAbroad.com
have
listings
of
many
scholarships.
