-at least 18 years of age

-in good academic standing at UGA or their home institutions (>2.7 GPA)

Costs

The total cost to the student will be airfare plus the program fee + normal tuition and technology fee (see payment schedule). The funds for tuition and the program fee are collected separately. Students will pay tuition and the technology fee to the Bursar’s Office. Students who are Georgia residents or those enrolled in SEC Universities can enroll for this course at the in-state tuition rate.

Please submit your application and payments directly to Dr. Sarah Workman, Program Director. All payments by check should be made to 'UGA Study Abroad Virgin Islands'. The payment schedule document (info/costs page) includes information about refund policies for the course. 

Hope Scholarship does cover the tuition portion for qualified students.  All students pay in-state tuition. Tuition rates can be found at: http://www.busfin.uga.edu/bursar/schedule.html. Students who are non-University System of Georgia students and out-of-state residents not enrolled in an SEC university will have to pay an out-of-state fee. Please note that many schools and colleges within UGA charge a different rate of tuition. Students pay the tuition rate for the college in which they are enrolled (not the college in which they may be temporarily taking courses).

It is required that all students purchase the UGA Study Abroad Insurance (it is included in the price of your program fee). The Program Fee is $1500.00. Approximate cost for the course will be $2000 per student, depending on the airfare. Please see the Payment Schedule information.

NOTE: Each participant is responsible for purchase of their own airline ticket (see payments and travel for more info).
