Budget estimate based on Fall 2022 fees (Updated 4/1/2022)
For dates: August 30 - December 12, 2022 **

1. Educational Travel: Potential expenses related to ISP travel are $100 - $200 per the Fall 2022 Country Overview.

2. Visa fees: Fee estimates include $185 for the visa application and documentation fees as well as a $15 visa registration (paid onsite).

3. Personal: On-site expenses can range from $1,000 - $1,100 per the Fall 2022 Country Overview.

4. Additional Meals: Meals are included, but students will want to eat out some on their own.

5. 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 you able. Click here for more information on securing a passport.

6. COVID Testing: Cost for COVID-19 testing in Chile is currently required for re-entry to the U.S. for all travelers. Students may incur costs for other pre- and post-arrival COVID tests in their host country as well ranging from $100 - $250 for the semester. Please see Department of State COVID country specific information for updated entry and exit testing requirements. 

Please note you may have additional expenses related to required or recommended immunizations. The Wofford College Office of International Programs urges you to consult our 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.
