All financial aid, grants and scholarships apply to the program fee.  Contact the Financial Aid Office if you would like information about additional loans for extra costs associated with studying on this program.

The fee does not cover:

  • transportation to Québec or the group flight to France. An Airfare Assistance form will be included in the acceptance packet for the Québec to Paris flight. Students must have a current financial aid form on file to qualify. In most cases, students must pay the first $750 of the airfare.

  • visa fees
  • books
  • transportation within and outside of Rouen

A non-refundable first payment of $500 is to be made upon acceptance. The remaining sum must be paid upon receipt of bills from St. Lawrence University.

Refunds will be made in accordance with the policy outlined in the St. Lawrence catalog, less any money that has been paid out on behalf of the student.
