Budget estimate based on Spring 2024 fees (Updated 10/3/2023)
For program dates: January 22 - May 11, 2024 **
1. Housing & Included Meals: Students who opt for "Select Housing" will be charged an additional $750; students who opt for "Select Plus" housing will be charged an additional $1,500. Select and Select Plus housing is first-come, first-serve, and based on availability. See CIEE Housing information for more details.
2. Personal Expenses: The figure above includes the recommended $100 emergency fund, cell phone expenses, and toiletries for the semester.
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 14 weeks. We, therefore, recommend that students send their application using USPS’ Priority Mail Express and consider requesting expedited service if possible.

4. Cell Phone: Estimated cost is included in the "Personal" figure above.
5. Additional Meals: All meals are provided and are included in the program cost, but students should budget some funds for occasionally eating out.
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.
