CSUF financial aid can be applied toward CSUF Exchanges, CSU International Programs, CSUF College & Departmental programs
and Non-CSUF programs. If you currently receive financial aid, you simply complete the necessary documentation and take it with you
when you study abroad. Students, who do not already receive financial aid, should consult with a CSUF financial aid counselor to review
their options. The counselor can help you to complete and submit the federal "FAFSA" form in order to apply for financial aid.
Each year, the Study Abroad Office awards several Ambassadors of International Education Scholarship for study
abroad. Applications for these scholarships are available below. Many program providers also offer scholarships for students participating
on their programs. Please talk with the Study Abroad Advisor about these opportunities or refer to the program provider’s website or
publications for details. The study abroad staff is always available to help you identify additional study abroad scholarships, grants, and
other funding resources. Here are some scholarships and loan options you may be interested in pursuing:
