Financial Aid
Your RIT and federal financial aid is likely to apply to this program as long as you maintain full time student status (12 credit hours) while studying abroad at RIT Croatia. If you are maintaining half time status while abroad (6 credit hours), you may be eligible to use your federal financial aid.
Once you receive a budget worksheet for studying abroad at RIT Croatia, it is important that you make an appointment with your financial aid advisor early in the application process to go over the costs and how your financial aid will be applied.
