Notes:
Budget estimate based on Fall 2022 fees (Updated 4/1/2022)
For program dates: August 27 - December 9, 2022**

Estimated on-site expenses are based upon figures from the Fall 2020 Country Overview.  We will update for Fall 2022 figures once the Fall 2022 Overview is available.

1. Educational Travel: Potential expenses related to ISP travel range from $100-$400, with higher fees for travel estimates for travel north or west per the Fall 2020 Country Overview (will update once Fall 2022 Overview is available).

2. Personal: On-site expenses can range from $720 - $1,600 per the Fall 2020 Country Overview, including potential upfront medical costs (will update once Fall 2022 Overview is available).

3. Additional Meals: Meals are included, but students will need to budget for occasional meals on their own.

4. 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.

5. COVID Testing: Cost for COVID-19 testing in Australia 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 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.
