Financial Aid
Students with Financial Aid should make an appointment with a counselor at the Financial Aid Office. They can advise on your individual Financial Aid package and how much of it can be used toward your chosen study abroad program.
Students using Veterans Benefits should also contact the Veterans Resource Center at vets@humboldt.edu to see if these benefits can be applied to a study abroad program.

Student Spotlight
I think the best advice is to strive to be comfortably uncomfortable while studying abroad. You won't get the most out of your study abroad experience if you are always in your comfort zone.
