Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to receive financial aid for study abroad?

If you are a University at Albany student considering studying abroad, in most cases, you will be able to receive financial aid.  Study Abroad application information can be found on the UAlbany Financial Aid website at How To Apply - Study Abroad.  Timeliness and proper documentation are essential to successfully securing a financial aid award prior to your departing.

Visiting students (students who are not matriculated at UAlbany) are not eligible to receive financial aid through UAlbany.  However, visiting students, studying in a sponsored UAlbany program may be able to receive financial aid through their home institution.  Contact your home institution’s financial aid office.
