Budget estimate based on Fall 2023 fees (Updated 3/16/2023)
For dates: August 27 - December 9, 2023**
Estimated on-site expenses are based upon figures from the Spring 2023 Country Overview - we will update figures when Fall 2023 Country Overview is available.
1. Educational Travel: Potential expenses related to ISP travel are $200 per Spring 2023 Overview.
2. Personal: On-site expenses can range from $750 - $1,250 per Spring 2023 Overview, including personal spending, upfront medical costs, and internet usage.
3. Passport: The estimated cost above includes the $60 fee for expedited service. Due to COVID-19 and its impact on the U.S. Postal Service, the U.S. State Department is currently experiencing delays in receiving passport applications with routine processing service estimated to take as long as 11 weeks. We, therefore, recommend that students send their application using USPS’ Priority Mail Express and consider requesting expedited service if able.

4. Additional Meals: Meals are included, but students will want to eat out some on their own.
Please note you may have additional expenses related to required or recommended immunizations. The Wofford College Office of International Programs urges you to consult your program materials, the Centers for Disease Control website, and your healthcare provider to assess such needs.
Your actual costs will vary from this estimate prepared by the Office of International Programs. Please compare this estimate to the information that you receive from your program and personalize it based on your chosen program options and personal plans. The Financial Aid Office utilizes this cost estimate when approving scholarships, grants and student loans for use when studying away from campus. All of the above expenses with the exception of independent travel and personal expenses may be used in configuring your financial aid package. Once you are admitted, you may contact the Financial Aid Office with questions regarding your financial aid package.
