<p>Dad II, another thing to consider is that at some schools, unless a student attends a study abroad program sponsored by his/her home school, the home school may not grant FA at all!</p>
<p>UChicago does this. So does Tufts. No FA if you attend a non-sponsored program. Happily, the math program S1 is attending costs less than a quarter of Chicago tuition/fees after FA, so we come out a little ahead. S2 plans to do some intensive foreign language study, but the language is not among Tufts’ sponsored programs. No FA for that, either.</p>
<p>I recommend you look up the study abroad policies at your children’s schools to see exactly how they handle the various overseas programs.</p>
