Financial Aid services at Berkeley Study Abroad
There are two dedicated Financial Aid Counselors, Anthony Green and Ka Yan Chan, working with students on understanding and packaging their financial aid for study abroad. Study abroad students generally seek Financial Aid services for one of the following three reasons:
If you have determined which country, program, term you’d want to study and wish to receive a financial aid package estimate for that term, please fill out this form (CalNet Authentication required).

If you have a specific question about a study abroad financial aid issue you are encountering, please email TravelAid@berkeley.edu. Please do not email to request a financial aid estimate, these requests should be made using the form in the Financial Aid Package Estimate section above.
