Financial Aid

Financial aid can be applied toward TU exchanges, TU programs, and approved non-TU programs but there may be some restrictions depending on the type of aid you receive. Students can request additional loan funds to help cover study abroad/away costs by submitting a Study Abroad/Away Budget to the TU Financial Aid Office.  It is also a good idea to schedule an appointment with a Financial Aid Adviser to discuss borrowing options for the abroad or away term.

IMPORTANT: Tuition remission can only be applied to TU Exchanges.
