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. Further, contact information on study abroad scholarships for qualified students.
