Cost is an important factor when deciding to study abroad. You may be surprised to learn that the cost of studying at SHU in Dingle is comparable to staying at Sacred Heart University. Tuition will always be billed by Sacred Heart, therefore your tuition will be the same as if you were on campus. This is helpful as it also generally allows you to maintain your financial aid and scholarship package.
With careful planning and research into opportunities, you should be able to afford a study abroad experience with SHU in Dingle.

Scholarships & Financial Aid
Scholarships are a great way to support the cost of your study abroad experience. In an effort to encourage you to study abroad, and to make a study abroad experience more accessible, the SHU Office of Global Affairs prepared a list of scholarships and financial resources. Please note that this is not a conclusive list but it will help you start your search process. The OGA encourages you to apply and take advantage of as many relevant scholarship opportunities as possible.
Speak with Student Financial Assistance to determine how your aid package will apply towards studying abroad.

Please ensure applications for the Welch Tuition Waiver, Thomas More Honors Program Scholarship, and/or Matthew R. Dalling Scholarship are submitted by the specified deadline.
