Step 3: How to pay for it...
1) Financial Aid:
If you are interested in funding your study abroad trip through financial aid, please review the STUDY ABROAD INFORMATION SHEET for financial aid purposes. Upon acceptance for a study abroad program, you must complete a STUDY ABROAD VERIFICATION FORM for financial aid calculation. For more information about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other financial aid topics, see ESU's Financial Aid Website or contact Marion Jones in the Office of Student Financial Aid - Plumb Hall 103, Box 4038, 1200 Commercial St. Emporia, KS 66801-5087, or by phone at (620) 341-5457 .
2) Scholarships, Grants & More:

3) BEFORE Returning Home:
Upon completion of coursework in any of the ISEP-I, ISEP-II or Outgoing Direct Exchange study abroad programs, students are responsible for sending an official transcript to be mailed to the office of the registrar at Emporia State University. At the end of the study abroad semester(s), all students enrolled in any of the FL095 sections will receive incomplete grades until the official transcripts are received and evaluated.

Additional Information
Personal Documents
- Passport: Apply for a passport at your post office. If you have a passport, be sure it will remain valid until your return. You can also click on Travel Information in Step 2 for Passport information.
- Visa: Some countries require a visa, an endorsement stamped on your passport granting entry to the country. Your study abroad advisor will tell you if a visa is required, although it is your responsibility to obtain the visa from the U.S. consular office of the country you will visit. You can also click on Travel Information in Step 2 for Visa ordering and other information.
- Health Insurance: Health insurance is required for all students on ESU programs. Check with your health insurance provider to be sure you will have major medical coverage while overseas and be sure you know the procedure for filing a claim from overseas. If you do not have major medical health insurance that is valid overseas, ask at the OIE for brochures about policies designed for students studying abroad. A Health Insurance link is also provided in Step 2 that may be able to help you.
