Budgeting
When planning for your personal expenses and meals abroad, it is a good idea to compare the cost of living between the SF Bay Area and the location of your study abroad program. Take a look at this cost of living comparison website.
Fundraising
- Start a GoFundMe Campaign
- Start a Group Fundraiser.
- Often students successfully raise a portion of their program fees through group fundraisers. For example, t-shirt sales, food sales, concerts, and other events. Contact your faculty leader or study abroad advisor if you would like to lead a group fundraiser.
- Students often have success reaching out to their community- family, friends, social media followers. A little from each person goes a long way!
