Financial Aid Policy
Capital University Overseas Study and Financial Aid Policy
Capital University views overseas study as an important element of a liberal arts education. In support of the overall educational mission of the institution, Capital University permits a portion of “Institutional Aid” (i.e. Capital University scholarships and departmental grants) to be used toward study abroad with the following provisions:
Federal and state regulations permit the use of federal and state funds for any program-related costs (i.e., not just tuition) in which the university awards college level credit.
Institutional Aid toward Study Abroad Maximum Allowance — Non-Capital Programs
Capital University established $3,340 as the maximum amount of institutional aid (university and departmental scholarships and grants) which may be applied to the tuition portion of nonCapital run program costs.
Students who have tuition exchange through their parent’s university, or their parents are Capital employees and they are using tuition remission at Capital, may not use this benefit for a study abroad program.
Capital-run programs, such as the Music Program in Hungary, Overseas Practice Teaching through the Foundation for International Education, and the Capital University exchange programs, are unaffected by these limits and the full amount of institutional aid continues to apply as if the student were registered on the Bexley campus.
