Steps to Study Abroad

faqThe Financial Aid Office of University of the Incarnate Word is committed to UIW’s institutional globalization goals. Decisions concerning financial assistance awards to support international study are made by the Office of Financial Aid, not by the Office of Study Abroad.

Assistance is provided in the Office of Study Abroad as students document their financial needs and prepare a budget preliminary to their discussions with the Office of Financial Aid, but the student is solely responsible for accurate estimates and supporting documentation for the financial aid needed and requested for the international study period.

Students are advised to take this process very seriously and to take responsibility for the requests made to the Office of Financial Aid. Following is a list of the most frequently asked questions and answers about financial assistance to support international study.
