**Cost Breakdown Sheet

Financial Aid

Financial aid may be applied to the cost of the program. Please contact Michael Morrow in the Financial Aid Office to determine how financial aid may apply. In addition you should present to the Financial Aid Office an estimate of costs (see Barcelona 2010 cost breakdown sheet ) that indicate costs involved with this exchange (such as round trip airline tickets and housing). The financial aid office may use this information to determine how much to increase your financial aid package.

**Please be aware that if you are expecting to receive financial aid upon your return for the following quarter you will need to finalize all the requirements for this program. The classes you take at the University in Barcelona will show a passing "C" grade until the UPF grades are received (at the beginning of August), you have turned in all of your work and had your interview with the program coordinator.
