Funding:

Please check with each program to inquire about funding options to help you meet your program costs.

During the summer, the Office of Financial Aid offers summer savings replacement aid and loans to help meet program costs. Students may also apply to individual funders (e.g., academic departments or centers at Princeton University) for financial support and/or be awarded financial support through the program that they attend.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of International Programs is also offering three rounds of the Dean’s Fund for Virtual Summer Study Abroad. This special funding opportunity, available in SAFE, aims to provide awards to students on financial aid who enroll in remote courses offered at foreign institutions or language courses offered at domestic institutions.
