This is not a final financial aid award or a guarantee of financial aid, refund, or balance. It is also not a final statement of study abroad costs. Actual financial aid and costs may differ from the amounts shown in this estimate.

Before Submitting: Please complete all required fields and carefully review your program name and selected quarter(s) selected. An estimate cannot be generated if the program or quarter(s) selected are incorrect.

Program Selection: Please verify your program name and selected quarter(s) before submitting. Incorrect information will prevent an estimate from being generated.

We encourage students to work closely with GLO and/or your study abroad program regarding billing details. Financial Aid cannot confirm program-specific billing arrangements or payment schedules. Certain expenses—such as housing, health insurance, or other fees—may be billed separately by the program, depending on billing arrangements. Students are responsible for reviewing their program's billing information, budgeting for these expenses, making payments by the applicable deadlines, and confirming due dates and any available payment deferral options directly with GLO and/or the study abroad program.

If you do not have the program link yet, you can search for your program using the link below:

Additional Information: Please provide any information that may affect your financial aid, such as anticipated outside scholarships, program-specific funding, or an upcoming graduation date. If none apply, please enter N/A.

Note: Any anticipated outside scholarships noted here will not be included in your estimate. Please review the Outside Scholarships webpage for information on how outside scholarships may affect your financial aid.
Disclaimer:
I understand that this estimate is based on my current financial aid eligibility and current program cost information. It reflects potential eligibility and is not a final award. Final program costs and financial aid eligibility may change following confirmation of program costs and review of my financial aid application materials for a future aid year, if applicable. This estimate does not include outside funding or scholarships, which may affect estimated aid amounts.

This estimate applies only to study abroad programs and does not apply to on-campus coursework taken through Northwestern University, which follows a separate process.

Students attending independent programs are not eligible for any type of financial assistance or loans through Northwestern and may not use Northwestern financing options such as the prepayment plan. We recommend working with GLO and/or the program directly for any questions.

If a duplicate request is submitted or if an incorrect program name or term is selected, I understand that an estimate may not be emailed to me and and I may need to resubmit my request with the correct information.

In the meantime, I understand that I am responsible for reviewing the Study Abroad webpage, working closely with GLO for program, billing, and payment details related to my study abroad program.

The Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid will review your request and determine your need-based eligibility. Please allow a few business days for review.
