FAQ: Financial Matters
What type of funding is available for study abroad? Does CC-CS offer scholarships?
There are many scholarships and grants available to students who wish to study abroad. Check with your Study Abroad Office or your advisor to research the resources available to you. All prospective students applying to a CC-CS program are eligible to apply for a CC-CS Merit-Based or Diversity scholarship. Please see Funding Study Abroad for more information.
Can my $300 program deposit be deferred until my financial aid is disbursed?
No. The CC-CS deposit confirms your enrollment in CC-CS. If we do not receive a deposit, we cannot hold a space for you in our programs.
My financial aid will not be available by the payment due date, can my payment be deferred?
Yes. Please contact CC-CS as soon as possible to obtain the appropriate paperwork and instructions to defer your payment.
What forms of payment does CC-CS accept?
CC-CS accepts payments via check, money order, and/or credit card. To make a credit card payment, you will need to print and fill out a Credit Card Authorization Form.
To whom should I make a check/money order payable to?
All checks and money orders should be made payable to "The Center for Cross-Cultural Study" or "CC-CS."
How do I know whom to pay for my study abroad program?
You will receive a Statement of Account in your acceptance packet if you are required to pay for any portion of your program costs. The Statement of Account will clearly outline each program fee, the amount, and who is responsible for the payment (you or your school).
What is the CC-CS Refund Policy?
Penalties for withdrawal from the program are assessed based upon the length of time between the notice of your withdrawal and the start of the program. In any case, the $300 deposit is always non-refundable.
Withdrawal from program between:
-
Final payment due date and 30 days prior to the start of the program has a penalty of $500.
-
30 days prior to the start of the program and the day of arrival has a penalty of 25% of the room and board fee and 100% of the tuition, study tours and orientation, enrollment, and activities fees.
-
There is no refund for any portion of the program after the program start date.
I have my own health insurance, so do I have to pay for CC-CS’ health insurance?
Yes. CC-CS provides health insurance for all students as part of your program fees. This health insurance is mandatory for all students, whether you have insurance at home or not. Students must also obtain an ISIC (International Student ID Card), which provides you with additional health insurance. Please see Health Insurance and Medical Care for more detailed information.
