Kettering University Fees 
To encourage undergraduate students to participate in the study-abroad programs, Kettering University has agreed to provide these terms as relatively “cost neutral” when compared to the expenses for tuition, room, board and transportation during a typical term on campus. Some variation should be expected, however.  All students who opt for an academic term abroad will register for a study-abroad term at Kettering University and pay the regular Kettering University tuition. This way, you will keep all your scholarships, grants, loans and financial aid. Students enrolled in study abroad programs are subject to the same policies and procedures regarding fee payment as students studying on campus. Please note that your eligibility to study abroad is dependent upon meeting all university academic and financial obligations.
 
Before you depart on your study abroad program, it might be an idea to consider having a responsible person to take care of your affairs back home. It is also recommended that if family or guardians will be contacting the Office of International Programs, that you submit a FERPA Student Information Release Form. Students will find this form in their study abroad online portal.

Study-Abroad Stipends
Kettering University provides up to $1,500 per student as a stipend for study-abroad programs at each degree level. Participants may use the stipend funding on multiple programs (short-term and term length), but may not exceed the $1,500 total during each degree program at Kettering. Students must receive class credit during the study-abroad experience to be awarded the stipend. 

Students are able to borrow against this stipend up to three months in advance for a small fee. This loan is intended to provide students with funds necessary for purchasing round-trip airline tickets, passports, and any other expense that needs to be covered prior to departure. Several universities abroad require either partial or total housing payment prior to arrival. This payment will be made by wire transfer and will reduce the amount available.

The stipend will be credited in your student account and cannot be wired to any other bank account. Should you wish to withdraw the stipend amount, please make sure you have no outstanding balances on your student account before the stipend is credited. To withdraw the funds please download this form, gather signatures from our office and Student Accounts. 

Financial Aid & Scholarships
All financial aid and scholarships should apply to all Kettering approved exchange programs. The rules may be different should you choose to study at a non-partnered university. Please check with the Financial Aid office and the Office of International Programs to clarify your specific situation.
