Costs
Include: The costs above include only tuition, library access, and access to computer lab.
The tuition does not cover room or board. The exact cost of your stay in Krakow is largely up to you. We will be happy to help you find lodgings appropriate to your budget. We have a limited number of very cheap ($50 per month, doubles only) dormitory rooms on reserve as well as nicer private flats. You could be frugal and eat only in the school canteens or you could go wild in the many restaurants of Krakow. Less than $4000 set aside for the costs of life will result in a Spartan lifestyle. Most students find $7000 to be quite comfortable.
Financial Aid
Yes.
The programs qualify for Stafford loans, Fulbright scholarships, and many others that are normally available to US students. The program is also recognized by Canadian financial aid centres. It is always best to contact the Financial Aid office of your home country.
Dates
