Estimated Budget
Tuition
Since this is an exchange program, tuition expenses do not change. You will pay tuition directly to your CUNY campus.
If you receive Financial Aid or Scholarships, they will be applied to your tuition, as long as you speak with your Financial Aid Office first. TAP is not guaranteed, but may be granted depending on your situation (speak with Financial Aid Office).
​
You MUST speak with the Financial Aid Office right away to let them know that you will be studying abroad. They will give you paperwork to fill out.
