Scholarships & Financial Information
It is important that any student who wishes to take advantage of off-campus study opportunities meet with financial aid personnel at least one semester prior to the beginning of the program to discuss his or her particular situation. Geneva College has adopted the following policy concerning financial aid for students studying off-campus:
For all of the programs listed on this web site, students will remain eligible for 100% of all qualifying state and federal aid as well as 100% of any outside scholarships. For students receiving Geneva financial aid they will retain 60% for Fall Semester programs and 40% for Spring Semester programs. Apply for financial aid as you normally would each year by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 15.
The minimum cost of Geneva’s off-campus programs is the same as Geneva College’s regular semester tuition/room & board plus a $250.00 administrative fee. If the cost of the chosen off-campus program is higher than Geneva’s tuition/room & board rate the student will be charged the for the full cost of the program chosen, plus the $250.00 administrative fee.
Geneva College Semester in Rome
Geneva College will apply 100% of a Geneva student’s aid to the cost of the Rome program. There is one exception to this policy: Geneva students who are on full tuition remission due to faculty/staff benefits or through a tuition exchange program will be charged 40% of the normal tuition charge in the fall and 60% of the normal tuition charge in the spring. Geneva College will not extend any Geneva aid to non-Geneva students who attend.
Geneva College aid cannot be used to cover the $250 study-abroad fee, the $750 Rome Program fee, or any of the other additional fees associated with participation in the Rome Program.
