If the financial aspect of studying abroad deters you from exploring your options, keep in mind that:
- Students usually pay UMD tuition prices for these programs, so with the right planning it can be managed just as any other semester/year.
- The university provides information regarding study abroad financial aid >>> https://globalmaryland.umd.edu/offices/education-abroad/financial-aid
- Additionally, the university has many scholarships that can be applied towards study abroad >>> https://globalmaryland.umd.edu/offices/education-abroad/scholarships
So don't be discouraged before you explore your options!
Speaking of which, here are some programs recommended for AGNR students:
