Understanding the Program Budget


Line items on the budget sheet are sorted into two sections: 
  • Billable Expenses: Cashier Billed Expenses are charges applied to your UNC Student Account. You will not pay tuition or program fees to your host institution abroad
  • Non-billable Estimates: In addition to the program costs paid to UNC, you will have expenses associated with international travel and living abroad. These are estimated out of pocket expenses you pay yourself. The given amounts are estimated costs based on current exchange rates and on the information provided to us by your host institution and past participants. Depending on your personal spending habits, you may spend more or less than the figures provided. Please note that these expenses do not include vacation travel or sightseeing.
Remember that even fixed costs, such as a visa application fee, are subject to change without notice.

Billing and Payments

Line items listed under Billable Expenses will be charged to your UNC Student Account. Charges and deadlines occur on the same timeline as billing for the term at UNC. See the University Cashier’s Important Dates page for more information.

Special Notes

Application Fee: The Application Fee is non-refundable and must be paid by the Application Deadline. See your program application for more details.  

Study Abroad Fee: The Study Abroad Administrative Fee will be billed to your student account only if you accept an offer from the Study Abroad Office to study abroad. If you withdraw from a program after accepting the offer, you still will be charged in the same billing cycle. However, you may apply the paid fee to a future UNC Study Abroad program. 

Program Costs: Includes housing, local excursions, mentor dinners, and an excursion to New York City in April.

Insurance - StudentBlue: If you do not have insurance through your parents or an outside agency, we strongly recommend that you enroll in StudentBlue. Students must proactively enroll individually as they are dropped from coverage when studying off-campus.

Insurance - Supplemental Domestic: Required accident policy only. Instructions for claims in pre-departure information. 

Local Transportation: Estimated cost for public transit pass to travel to and from internships and site visits. 

Housing: Estimated costs for personally contracted housing if working with our partner in DC. Includes a bed in a shared bedroom in a double bedroom apartment.

This budget is an estimate valid at the time of printing and is subject to change. Last cost update: 10/18/23
