Internship Program Cost
All costs indicated below include accommodation and a semester meal plan, as well as the full range of services listed further down this page. These integrated components are designed to provide students with a comprehensive and structured study abroad experience, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and support across all campuses.
Depending on the inter-institutional agreement between Unicollege and the partner university, whether pre-existing or newly established, Unicollege reserves the right to waive the per-credit cost and structure the collaboration as a tuition-reciprocal program, based on a mutually agreed number of tuition-free participants. Hybrid arrangements combining tuition-reciprocal and fee-paying students may also be considered, along with other forms of collaboration, in accordance with the terms defined with each partner institution.
NB: the cost per credit may vary depending on the agreement between Unicollege and the partner university. Students are required to confirm with both Unicollege and their home institution which tuition model applies to their specific study abroad program.

Financial Aid and Continuity
As a higher education institution, and not a third-party study abroad provider, Unicollege is committed to promoting sustainable and accessible study abroad opportunities across all its programs. Through its university-to-university partnerships, Unicollege supports the applicability and continuity of financial aid awarded by the home institution.
This may include, where eligible, forms of aid such as Title IV funding, Pell Grants, federal or state aid, institutional scholarships, and other recognized funding mechanisms, in accordance with the policies of the home university.
Participating students, faculty, and staff are required to verify directly with their home institution which types of financial aid can be applied to their study abroad program. Unicollege will facilitate all necessary documentation and administrative processes to support the continuation of eligible funding.
