Aid for Non-Marquette Study Abroad Programs

In addition to the steps for Marquette programs, the following applies to students participating in programs that are not affiliated with Marquette University.  Please see the Office of International Education for approval of programs.

Marquette aid, including grants and/or scholarships from Marquette, do not transfer to non-Marquette study abroad programs, but federal and state aid can be applied to all programs accredited in the United States or by the ministry of education in the country of study.  A Consortium Agreement and supporting documents are required for all students participating on non-Marquette study abroad programs who meet any of the following requirements:

1.  The student is seeking any financial aid (including alternative loans) for the term of study abroad (applies to the fall, spring and summer terms) and/or

2.  The student needs verification of at least half-time enrollment in order to defer loan repayments due to a prior history of receiving federal financial aid (applies to semester terms only) and/or

3.  The student needs full-time enrollment for health insurance purposes (applies to semester terms only).

Students requiring a consortium agreement for any of the circumstances listed above should submit the required documents for students studying on non-Marquette programs.
