Facts You Need to Know: Financial Aid and Study Abroad
The following Web site provides
useful information and outlines
resources available for financial aid:
http://www.finaid.org
Recent changes in federal law have made it possible for students to use some or all of their federal financial aid for study abroad. Here are some facts you should know:
• Financial aid may be used for study abroad. Both direct costs (instructional costs abroad, room and board) and indirect costs (books, fees, airfare, departure taxes, estimated ground transpor-tation costs, and personal spend-ing) of a study abroad program are included to calculate a student’s financial aid package. Once the amount of need and the student’s own contribution is determined, some students may receive federal grants or loans equal to or even greater than they receive while studying at their home institu-tions.
• There are many forms of aid. Check with your financial aid office about federal forms of aid, including grants and loans, as well as forms of state or institutional aid that may also be available for study abroad.
• Seek approval for your participa-tion in a study abroad program from your advisor or other appropriate faculty member or administrator on campus. Once your home institution has granted approval for participation in a study abroad program, and if you are otherwise eligible to receive financial aid, then federal forms of financial aid must be applied toward the cost of a study abroad program.
• You must apply through your home institution to receive finan-cial aid for any study abroad program you choose; once your aid package is awarded, you are responsible for making certain that all funds are forwarded to the appropriate U.S. institution which sponsors the study abroad program.
• Financial aid can be used to sup-port summer study, as long as you are enrolled for academic credit and you meet all the other require-ments.
• It is a good idea to apply early. Early application allows your financial aid office to complete the review of your eligibility for financial aid and to get all of the paperwork done. Be sure to apply no later than fifteen weeks prior to departure.
• Students from CCIS member institutions (see page on member-ship) can get help in applying for financial aid from their own study abroad and financial aid offices. Students from non-member insti-tutions will find that the staff working with students going abroad at the CCIS sponsoring institutions can be of invaluable assistance in working through the process of applying for aid.

Step 1: When you initially contacted CCIS, did you request information about a particular program or country?
Yes, I have requested specific program information. You will receive a follow-up mailing directly from the U.S. institution that sponsors the program(s) of
interest, which includes detailed costs and dates, course and housing information, and application materials. If you do not receive the information within two weeks, please contact the U.S. sponsoring institution directly (contact information is provided on each program page in the brochure).
No, I have not requested specific program information. Take some time and read through the CCIS Brochure to find programs that interest you, and then contact
the U.S. sponsoring institutions directly to receive program details, including course information and application materials (contact information is provided on each program page in the brochure).
Step 2: Contact your study abroad advisor or your academic dean to discuss the program you have selected. Review the courses offered by the program to ensure that you will receive full academic credit for courses taken overseas. Ask the program contact person to explain how grades/credits will be reported.
Step 3: Submit your application for the program (see the inside back cover of the CCIS Brochure for a list of member institutions):
If your school is a member of CCIS: Submit the completed materials to your study abroad advisor or academic dean on campus.
If your school is not a member of CCIS: Mail the completed materials to the sponsoring institution (the program contact person). DO NOT send your
application to the CCIS office in Washington, DC.
Your CCIS Study Abroad Application should include:
•CCIS Study Abroad Application (from the program contact person or the CCIS Web site).
•Completed Recommendation Forms (from the program contact person or the CCIS Web site).
•Copies of your most current college transcripts for all collegiate level courses taken.
•Additional forms specific to some CCIS programs.
Step 4: Secure financial arrangements for the program. DO THIS EARLY! If you are using financial aid to help pay for study abroad, meet with your financial aid officer and your study abroad advisor or academic dean. For information about financial aid eligibility, see page 3 of the CCIS Brochure.
Step 5: When you have been accepted into the program, work with your advisor and the program contact person to register for courses overseas. Also, make arrangements to register for classes on-campus for the term after you study abroad.

iaSalzburgSalzburg is considered by many to be one
of the most beautiful cities in Europe. With
a population of about 150,000, Salzburg
is situated in the heart of Europe on the
northern edge of the eastern Alps right at
the Austrian-German border. Surrounded
by picturesque mountains, the city still
mirrors in its historical center - a declared
UNESCO World Heritage Site - more than
a thousand years of European history and
culture. Its rich and vibrant cultural heritage
is reflected in concerts, festivals and a great
variety of events throughout the year. All of
the above make Salzburg the ideal setting for
a “European experience.”
Ideally located for travel, Salzburg is less than
three hours by train from Vienna, only two
hours from Munich, and an overnight train
ride from Paris or Venice. Several Eastern
European countries are within easy reach.
Academic Program Highlights
The program begins with a four-day aca-
demic trip through Bavaria that provides a
hands-on introduction to the region as well
as an opportunity to meet the other stu-
dents. The trip includes visits to Munich and
Neuschwanstein. A basic familiarity with this
geographical area allows students to place
Salzburg and its traditions in their appropri-
ate cultural and historical context.
It is the belief of the faculty and staff at
Salzburg College that students should have
a chance to maximize their learning about
“European affairs” through a variety of
courses depending on their focus of interest
or academic discipline. Therefore, several
areas of concentration are offered, such as
European Studies, Communications and
Marketing, Art and Photography, and Music
(incl. Music Performance).
Classes are small and students receive indi-
vidual attention. Course work is offered in
two six-week terms allowing students to
concentrate on two or three courses of their
Salzburg College
Program Site
Salzburg College is a small, private institu-
tion located in the heart of Salzburg’s Old
City. Salzburg College was founded in
1970 and started out as a classical European
Studies Program. A major objective of the
Salzburg College program is the integration of
classroom study and on-site experience. Small
classes held in English and a dedicated faculty
enhance the individual learning process.
The Salzburg College study center is located
in the heart of the Old City. The close
vicinity of public, educational and cultural
institutions, allows for easy integration of
classroom study and on-site experience that
is a major objective of the Salzburg College
program. The University Library and other
research facilities (e.g. Mozart Archives) are
all located in walking distance. Salzburg
College is also just down the street from the
main intersecting point of the Salzburg pub-
lic bus system which greatly facilitates the
commuting to and from the Austrian host
family homes and the dormitories.

Aix-en-Provence
IAU France—Marchutz School of Art
Program Site
The Institute for American Universities (IAU
France) offers a studio art program in Aix-
en-Provence called The Marchutz School of
Art. It is an art program for all majors, and
is located on Tholonet Road, just outside of
Aix, near the Chateaunoir where Cézanne
lived and worked. Marchutz was founded by
German artist Léo Marchutz in 1971.
Program Highlights
All students interested in art from any
perspective—and regardless of their skill
level—should consider Marchutz. Its innova-
tive interdisciplinary approach to the arts
combines readings in literature and philoso-
phy with studio art training, thereby provid-
ing students with a coherent theoretical and
practical approach to the creative process.
Individual projects in relation to students’
individual goals or fields of study are required
as well. Students who have flourished at
Marchutz majored in Studio art, Art History,
Art Education, Art Therapy, English, French,
Philosophy, and even Bio-Chemistry. In the
studio, figure drawing, portraiture, landscape
and still-life painting are interrelated with
copying, memory work, and sketchbook
journals. Group and individual critiques are
integral to the student’s work. In seminars,
students are asked to seek connections in their
work with that of other artists and critics.
Music, poetry and theater are often compared
to painting, sculpture, or architecture. Studio
disciplines and aesthetics are taught separately,
but presented as a unified corpus. Studio,
writing, history and criticism combine to
form one “seminar in seeing.”
The faculty considers each student as a work-
ing artist regardless of his/her level of experi-
ence. Whether beginning or well advanced,
the student who will thrive at the Marchutz
School is serious and committed. Students
must enroll in the Studio Seminar (6 credits),
the Art Criticism Seminar (3 credits) and
one art history class (3 credits). Museum
and painting excursions are also required.
Marchutz students may choose one or two
French language courses from IAU’s liberal
arts program in Aix-en-Provence, The Aix
Center. A 2.5 GPA is required, along with
transcripts and one letter of recommendation.
The program is open to any student who is
over 18 years at the time of enrollment. Non-
traditional students are encouraged to enroll
as well.
Student Life
Students are housed in French homestays,
which provide daily continental breakfasts
and six dinners per week. Cinemas, restau-
rants, cafés and discotheques, as well as a
variety of sporting events, are available to stu-
dents in the town of Aix-en-Provence.
Note: If you are interested in studying at
Marchutz in the summer, see the summer
description for this program on page 60.

Institut Français de ChambéryInstitut Français d’Annecy
Program Sites
The Institut Français des Alpes Semester in
France program offers students the choice of
study in either the Annecy center (Institut
Français d’Annecy) or Chambéry (Institut
Français de Chambéry). Both cities are
located in the French Alps, near Geneva
and Lyon, which has a population of about
120,000.
Annecy at the feet of the alpine massifs sits
on the purest lake of Europe and has breath-
taking scenery. Known as the “Venice of the
Alps,” with its canals, Old Town, lake, cas-
equivalent according to academic norms
generally accepted in American colleges and
universities.
Both centers have an Intensive French
(20hrs/week) program. Students are in class
20 hours per week and are enrolled for
15-16 credits with class emphasis changing
hourly—grammar, oral comprehension, oral
expressions, reading, writing—all with a
focus on French culture and civilization.
Student Life
In both Annecy and Chambéry, students
may be housed in French homestay in
“demi-pension” (breakfast and evening meals
included). Chambéry offers accommodation
in student residences — usually a studio
with no meals. Students complete a housing
questionnaire to indicate needs and choices
as well as, in the case of homestay, the degree
of involvement desired with hosts. The term
“family” is used loosely, as the possibilities
are many and not limited to “traditional”
families.
Note: If you are interested in summer study
abroad in Annecy or Chambéry, see the sum-
mer program options starting on page 60.

International Center for Management and India Studies
Program Site
The International Center for Management
and India Studies is located in Bangalore,
India. Bangalore, in the heart of the Indian
“Silicon Valley,” was recently listed as one of
the top ten “Up and Coming” cities in the
world. India, the oldest democracy in the
world, has an ancient and diverse culture
going back at least 5,000 years.
Bangalore is situated in the heart of the
South Deccan Plateau which is 1,000m
above sea level and it is the fifth largest city
in India. Bangalore, which literally means
the “town of baked beans,” was founded by
Kempe Gowda, a chieftain of the Vijayanagar
Empire, around the 16th century. Bangalore
is the capital of Karnataka.
Bangalore is booming, and a look at some of
its nicknames indicates why: “India’s Silicon
Student Life

Pub City of India.” Home to well over 6 mil-
lion people, and a base for 10,000 industries,
Bangalore is the fastest growing city in Asia.
The capital of the state of Karnataka,
Bangalore is situated halfway between two
coasts in southern India. The city was found-
ed in the 16th century, and witnessed great
southern dynasties like the Kadambas, the
Hoysalas and the Vijayanagar emperors.
Surprisingly, despite some adverse environ-
mental impact of industrial development in
Bangalore, another of its nicknames is “The
Garden City” due to the many local parks.
Along with pink cassias, golden acacias and
jacarandas, which bloom throughout the city,
many international visitors come to enjoy the
warm weather year-around.
Last but not least, Bangalore is even gaining
the status of the “Floriculture Capital” due to
the present blossoming of flower exports from
the city. Because of its rich stone resources,
Bangalore is also known as the “Stone City”
for its granite deposits.
Academic Program Highlights
The program is designed for students inter-
ested in participating in an Indian cultural
experience. The program will focus on pro-
viding students opportunities to take courses

Institute. Our civilization is the end of the
product of the widely contrasting cultures
that evolved over many hundreds of years.
With the Renaissance it became possible
to unite the strands of these cultures in a
new and exciting synthesis, which prepared
the way for the birth of the modern world.
This semester-long study abroad experience
allows students to retrace the steps of Greek,
Etruscan, Roman, medieval and Renaissance
cultures by living and studying in the three
cities which embody these civilizations in all
their richness and splendor: Tuscania, Rome
and Florence for the fall and Tuscania, Rome
and Venice for the spring.
Students spend one month in each loca-
tion and follow a structured program of five
3-credit courses, which together compromise
a unique investigation into the roots of
Western civilization. Classes meet every day
Monday through Thursday for two and a
half hours each, providing a total of 45 con-
tact hours per course. There are two man-
datory 3-credit courses in the first center,
Tuscania: an Italian language course and an
introduction to the ancient civilizations of
the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans.
In the second center, Rome students take
one 3-credit course in the Middle Ages and
the Renaissance and commence a second
3-credit Italian language course which will
continue into the third city. In Florence or
Venice students choose a further 3-credit
course which gives them the opportunity to
explore in-depth a late Renaissance figure
and his links with modernity.

ral resources, strategic studies, and Islamic cul-
ture and arts, and women’s studies. Program

are as common as classical and pop music
concerts.
Modern day Turkey is a parliamentary
democracy with a strong tradition of secular-
ism. The majority of the population observes
a moderate from of Islam. Orthodox
Christians and Jews make up the largest
minorities.

transit. Each apartment consists of a kitchen,
bathroom(s), living area and bedrooms. Most
bedrooms are double-occupancy. Apartments
are shared by 2–6 students, depending on
the number of bedrooms. Apartments are
