Obtaining Funds for Non-Billable Items

High-need Financial Aid students can obtain funds for non-billable budget items via a financial aid “refund.” Some high-need students not only will owe nothing on their billing statement but will have enough aid leftover to cover their round-trip transportation and other costs after their billed charges are paid. The following options are only available to students who will have a large enough refund available in their accounts to cover the travel charge. See more about studying away on Financial Aid.
 
Option 1: Purchase your own flights upfront and reimburse yourself out of the account refund available at the start of the term.
Option 2: If option 1 is not possible and if you qualify for this support, you may be able to book your flight through the College’s travel service, Travel Leaders, where it is charged directly to your D-Pay account and your D-Pay credit balance will cover the cost of the ticket.
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid with any questions.
Note: Amounts listed for individual budget items are the best estimates currently available.
