What is the Cost of GHCE?

The cost of the program varies by site, but generally runs from $3,000 - $5,000 for airfare, lodging and expenses. Students are responsible for all costs of the program, although financial aid may be available. Host sites may charge a fee or tuition.

Funding

This program is student-funded. Students who are accepted into the program are responsible for any and all costs, including airfare, living expenses, host site tuition/program fees and any necessary pre-travel vaccines, medication, and supplies. Most students may be eligible for financial aid to help offset expenses, and the GHRC can assist students in identifying potential scholarship resources and opportunities.

Students are required to register for Fieldwork, Research, and Independent Learning Abroad (FRILA) through the UW Study Abroad Office. UW Study Abroad's FRILA program allows students to pay a reduced fee instead of tuition when pursuing credits overseas for a registration fee.
