Over 90% of NWTC students who study abroad receive a scholarship or grant!

Use our Payment Plan

  • Every NWTC study abroad student has the option to use our payment plan that stretches out the program cost over the course of 3-6 months or more.
  • Students are notified if they've received a scholarship or grant before the first payment is due, and funds can be applied in later payments.
  • You'll receive an invoice (usually monthly) via email through Square with a secure link to make your payments.


Apply to our Study Abroad Grant

  • Grant application is included in the Study Abroad application. 
  • Awards are typically between $200 - $800. 
  • FAFSA is not required, but having a FAFSA on file is very helpful for determining your financial need.

Use your FAFSA

  • Your FAFSA refund can be used to help fund your study abroad program!
  • Pell grant recipients can also use any remaining funds to help pay for study abroad.
  • Talk to a Financial Aid Advisor by visiting the Welcome Center, SC240 or calling 920-498-5444.
