At Price College of Business, our goal is to provide every student with the chance to study abroad. Explore the world while enrolled at OU!

Studying abroad can be one of the most amazing and fulfilling experiences a student can have in college. Many students, however, worry that studying abroad is something that they can never afford and, as such, they miss out on opportunities to study abroad. Before you decide what works for you, learn as much as you can about programs, costs, and scholarships.
Students who receive an aid package from financial aid services from federal and state sources may be eligible to apply this aid toward a study abroad program. Support from financial aid varies based on a number of factors such as remaining aid eligibility, program costs, length of stay and type of program. The Financial Aid Services office determines which study abroad programs are approved for financial aid. There are a few steps that all degree-seeking OU students must follow to determine aid eligibility for an approved study abroad program:
1. Have a current FAFSA on file with OU Financial Aid Services. The OU code is 003184.
2. Complete and submit the hard copy study abroad form provided by Financial Aid Services to Financial Aid Services. This form must be submitted directly to Financial Aid Services in Buchanan Hall.
3. Submit all required materials listed on the Financial Aid Services study abroad form by the deadline. Financial Aid Services Deadline for summer study abroad is April 1.
Note: If you want to apply for financial aid for the summer study abroad programs, you must also complete the Summer Online Financial Aid Application on the OU Financial Aid Services website.
To make study abroad an integral part of your education, the Price College of Business strives to keep the program cost as low as possible. Nevertheless, many factors influence the cost of your study abroad experience. Some of these critical factors are:

Luckily, there are several different ways to make your study abroad experience more affordable.
In order to apply, and be considered for one of the scholarships offered by the Price College of Business, you need to be accepted into a study abroad program. The scholarship committee will award the appropriate scholarship depending on the study abroad program you are accepted into.
The Presidents International Travel Fellowship was created by former President David L. Boren. This fund provides money specifically to fund the travel portions of OU students' experiences abroad. This scholarship is processed through the University of Oklahoma Education Abroad Office. Decisions are based partially on need and on academic standing.
NOTE: The CASH scholarship application does not qualify you for the Price College Study Abroad or PITF scholarships. By completing the CASH application, you will be considered for other study abroad scholarships.
