ASA recognizes that students and families want a clear, comprehensive view of the total estimated cost of studying abroad. In addition to the ASA program fee, this includes common out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, books, and personal costs.

 

For students using financial aid, ASA also provides estimated costs of attendance or program budgets that institutions require to assess financial aid eligibility.
