Students who are approved to study or intern abroad through the Office of International Programs are billed by Stonehill for current tuition and Stonehill standard-double room and board (if applicable). Stonehill, in turn, will pay the abroad program provider for the tuition and housing costs for the program.

• Students are billed for regular Stonehill tuition and Stonehill housing but not billed for a meal plan (unless the program includes meals.)

  • Students are responsible for their own meals. 
  • Generally, the financial aid award does not change with participation in the internship program.
  • Additional costs include round-trip airfare, student visa fees (if applicable) and weekend travel, gym member

In nearly all instances your financial aid status remains the same, just as if you were living on campus. There are a few exceptions to the transfer of aid policy and students are strongly encouraged to contact the office of Student Financial Assistance for complete details.

To commit to your abroad program, a deposit to the provider will be made on your behalf by Stonehill. You begin this process in the Office of International Programs.

Submit the completed deposit request form, along with your program acceptance letter, to the International Programs office. The College will then remit your non-refundable deposit to your program provider.

Tuition and Double Room and Board

For this type of fee, your bill will reflect:

  • Current Stonehill tuition
  • Room and Board

Meals

Unless your program includes a meal plan, you will be responsible for paying food costs directly to your study abroad provider or purchase food at local vendors as appropriate for your program.

Note: This option is the most common for students.
