成本
Students who participate in Oxy’s 出国留学 programs (i.e. 研究 & research abroad, United Nations, Campaign Semester, Washington Internship) are charged a comprehensive fee for 研究 abroad comparable to living on-campus. 结果是, you will receive the same level of merit and need-based scholarships if you go abroad as you would if you stayed on-campus.
However, keep in mind that while your scholarships stay the same, your charges may differ. The standard 研究 abroad fee includes the costs of a double room and Meal Plan B. Thus, if you normally have Meal Plan C, you will see an increase in your charges.

If you normally receive $3,100 in work award for the academic year, you can expect your award to be $0 for the semester you are abroad, and replaced by an increase in one of your student loans. You are not required to borrow the increased loan amount and can choose to decrease/decline the loan should you not need the additional funding. 请注意, you will not have your full work award available to you in one semester. You must stop working on-campus once you reach your semester work award limit.
差旅补助
Financial aid may be available to 协助 you with your travel costs. This determination is made by the Office of 金融援助 based on your financial need. This grant will be an 估计 of your airfare expenses. This grant will not be a reimbursement of your actual flight costs; your actual costs will vary from your travel grant.
To determine your travel grant, we look at the flight costs on Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia. We use the international airport closest to your hometown as the departure location and the international airport closest to your abroad program as the destination. The departure date is 3 days before your program begins and the return date is 3 days after your program ends.
If the closest international airport is several hours away from your hometown, we may determine your travel grant departure location from the closest airport to your home.
Travel grant amounts are non-negotiable once determined by the Office of 金融援助, and you are encouraged to find the least expensive flight available.
