Sources of Financial Aid

Because their home institutions usually grant InterFuture Scholars academic credit for participation, students remain registered at their home campus throughout their InterFuture experience.  As a result, InterFuture Scholars normally remain eligible for all of the external grants and loans for which they are eligible during on-campus study.  Cooperating institutions generally permit their students to apply their tuition funds toward the InterFuture participation fee, or provide supplemental scholarships.
