Budget Planning

Make a plan for your budget before you leave and update it regularly during your experience.

• Use a budget planner to help you estimate the costs of your Go Abroad experience. You can use this template, or design your own. 
• Determine a budget that works for you while considering every possible expenses. Calculate your own financial needs based on your unique circumstances. 
• Talk to people who are familiar with your country or who have studied abroad there before to understand costs of living.
• Ask your program for a sample budget if that’s available.
• Take conversion rates into account.
• It’s always better to over budget than to under budget.

Be sure to explore funding opportunities that supports your Go Abroad adventures.
