Costs and Financial Planning

There are many programs that cost about the same as living in Boone and attending Appalachian-the only added expense is travel, insurance, and administrative costs; there are also programs that cost much more. You can apply most scholarships and financial aid to your study abroad costs when you participate in programs affiliated with Appalachian.
