Summer and Faculty-Led Programs
If you want to have an international experience with a shorter duration, we encourage you to explore summer and faculty-led program options! Short-term program cost is a set program fee and varies by program. Program fees may include housing, tuition, insurance, and excursions. Faculty-led and summer program offerings vary each year and are subject to change. Program offerings are usually announced at the beginning of fall semester, for the following summer.
UP scholarships/grants do not apply. However, other types of funding, such as federal grants, federal direct loans (if eligible), institutional loans, study abroad scholarships or external scholarships, may be available. Reach out to the UP Financial Aid Office at finaid@up.edu for more information. Learn more about study abroad scholarships here.
