Information for Parents

A support system plays an essential role throughout your student’s academic journey with Study Abroad – prior to departure, during their stay, and especially after their return to the United States. We strongly encourage you to explore this website and the UO EAP website so that you can further develop the supportive role that your student needs prior to departure, during their stay abroad, and after their return to the United States. (If your student is participating in a private (non-UC) Study Abroad program, please also contact their representative/web page.)

Costs of Study Abroad

Costs of EAP

Believe it or not, going abroad is not only affordable, but in some cases may cost less than studying at UC Santa Cruz. All forms of financial aid (UC, State and Federal) are available to students participating in EAP. Upon enrollment the Financial Aid Office will adjust a portion of the financial aid package according to the living costs of the study abroad location. For more information, please see the UO EAP website.
