Costs

The program fees for the Fall 2012 program are as follows:

• Tuition: $10,438 (16 credits)
• Transportation Internationally from Miami, FL and Transportation in Brazil: $2900
• Room and Board: $4869

The Program Fees include:

• Round-trip airfare from Miami, Florida to Brazil
• Travel within Brazil
• Tuition
• An international student I.D. card with travel insurance
• Room and board
• AEA  administrative services

Accommodations are in homestays, small hotels, guesthouses, and field station dormitories.

All internship positions provide accommodations. Students are responsible for any additional expenses during the internship and for personal expenses during the entire program. Our estimate of $25 to $35 per week for personal expenses is adequate for most students. However, personal spending for hygiene, dietary choices, entertainment and gifts can vary greatly from person to person. Students should consider their personal spending habits when budgeting for the program. Students are also responsible for travel to Miami, purchase of a language textbook, immunizations, and miscellaneous expenses.

Financial Aid, Scholarships, and Grants

Visit the AEA Scholarships and Financial Aid page for information on how your aid may apply to our study abroad programs, as well as resources for scholarships and grants towards study abroad.

In addition to our NEW Irwin Abrams & Paula L. Spier Study Abroad Scholarship, outside scholarships can be of great help. In the past, students on  AEA  programs have successfully received the  Gilman International Scholarship  for up to $5,000. The application deadline for this substantial award is March 1st.

We strongly recommend that students begin the scholarship and grant application process as early as possible, as these deadlines may differ considerably from AEA deadlines.

Each year, AEA staff work with students and, in many cases, their home institutions to ensure that the opportunity to study abroad is accessible, and affordable. AEA Asst. Directors are happy to advise students about scholarships and grants towards study abroad.
