Why not study abroad for a full year?

Students enrolling for a full year (two semesters) at the same campus receive an automatic fee reduction of $1,000 towards their second semester fee. If they so wish, they can use their original return flight at the end of the second semester and pay the "without airfare" second semester fee less $1,000. Alternatively, they can return home between semesters, book an additional round trip ticket through AIFS for the second semester and apply the $1,000 reduction to the "with airfare" second semester fee.

Students who wish to enroll for a full year at two different campuses will receive a minimum reduction of $1,000 on the second semester fee. Contact AIFS at 800-727-2437 to find out the exact fee reduction available for your chosen second campus.
