<p>Most schools apply your regular tuition toward study abroad. Meaning that you shouldn’t have to pay for both Rutgers and study abroad. A good school will encourage students to study abroad, rather than punish them! My daughter attends College of Wooster in northern Ohio. She did not do a Wooster-sponsored study abroad program, but petitioned for one in Florence, Italy (this past semester) through Academic Programs International (API). Wooster agreed to let her do it, then paid for her tuition/board costs. Of course, we had to continue paying her Wooster tuition. Good luck!</p>
