Notes:
Since the students who are participating in the program will be fully enrolled at Emory and receive Emory credit, they will be charged regular Emory tuition for participation in the program. The tuition bill will come from Emory's Office of Student Financial Services during the normal billing cycle for the semester. The non-refundable $300 application deposit will be applied towards program tuition.

Existing federal and Emory-based financial aid will be applied towards the program costs. Please review the Emory Credit and Cost Policy.


The "billable subtotal" subtotal above lists the charges that will appear on the Emory OPUS bill. The "non-billable" subtotal above lists the additional estimated expenses. All costs are subject to change.


Students will receive a separate bill from CIEE covering non-academic program costs; estimated costs includes: housing, visa fees, optional on-site airport meet and greet, full-time leadership and support, orientation, excursions, field trips, host institution identity card, admission fees to host university events, immersion activities, a comprehensive student handbook, predeparture advising, and a CIEE iNext travel card which includes insurance and other travel benefits.


Additional expenses (to be paid directly by student) include airfare, personal expenses, immunizations, local transportation, meals and books. *Students placed in Homestays will have breakfast and dinner provided during the week and three meals a day on weekends. Homestay students only need to budget for lunches during the week, estimated at $400.


Students with a high level of financial need may qualify for a waiver of the $75 application fee and a deferment of the $300 deposit; students should contact their Education Abroad advisor for details/eligibility. Students who receive the deposit deferment are held accountable to the same refund policy as those students who submit the deposit; you will be billed $300 if you withdraw from the program, in addition to any applicable withdrawal fees.


Students should also budget for vaccinations they may need - an appointment with the travel Nurse at Student Health Services is strongly recommended. Here is an overview of what the vaccinations cost. Students on the Emory Healthcare plan are covered:

Approximate rates (rates may change or vary)
Yellow Fever: $101.00
Hepatitis A: $99.00 (2 in the series)
Hepatitis B: $74.00 (2 in the series)
Typhoid: Injection- $70.00 or Oral $61.00
