Additionally, there are many alternative sources of funding available for study abroad listed here<br /><br />Q: How do I find out if my Home Institution will let me use my financial aid to study abroad with Go ED.?<br />A: Some schools may have specific rules with regards to third party study abroad providers like Go ED. You will need to speak to the Study Abroad Office and/or the Financial Aid Office at your Home Institution for help in determining if your financial aid can be used.<br /><br />Q: I have already completed my FAFSA for this year. Now that I have decided to go abroad, do I need to complete a new one?<br />A: No. Only one FAFSA per Financial Aid year is needed.<br /><br />Q: Does Go ED. have a Title IV Code that I can use on the FAFSA?<br />A: No. Go ED. has no Title IV code; therefore we cannot be one of the institutions included on your FAFSA form. Since we are not a Title IV Institution all Federal or Government Aid must be processed through your Home Institution.<br /><br />Q: Can I use the overseas institution's Title IV Code?<br />A: No. You will not be directly enrolled at the overseas institution, but will be enrolled through Go ED. The overseas institution will not process Financial Aid for third party study abroad students. Your Federal or Government Aid must be processed through your Home Institution.<br /><br />Q: Can I get more financial aid awarded to me since my Study Abroad program costs more than my Home Institution?<br />A: Yes. You may be able to receive more funds now that you are enrolled with Go ED. to study abroad. Federal law states that financial aid can cover all \"reasonable\" costs for a study abroad program. Work out a sample budget (we can help you with this) and take this to your Home Institution's Financial Aid Office to determine if any adjustments to your current Financial Aid Award can be made.<br /><br />Q: What are my other options if my Home Institution won't transfer my financial aid?<br />A: You may still be able to get Private Loans processed through your Home Institution, speak to your Study Abroad Office and/or your Financial Aid Office for more information. Additionally, there are many available study abroad scholarship and loan programs listed here; you may also consider applying for an ISLP Loan (<a href=\"https://www.iefc.com/intl/intl_islp_ugrad_tc.cfm\" target=_blank>https://www.iefc.com/intl/intl_islp_ugrad_tc.cfm</a>)<br /><br />Q: What if I am taking a leave of absence from my Home Institution to study abroad?<br />A: If you will be taking a leave of absence from your Home Institution, but they will still be accepting your academic credits from your time abroad then you will be able to apply for an ISLP Loan (<a href=https://www.iefc.com/intl/intl_islp_ugrad_tc.cfm target=_blank>https://www.iefc.com/intl/intl_islp_ugrad_tc.cfm</a>), in addition to many other scholarship and loan programs, to pay for Go ED.<br /><br />Q: Can I use my 529 Plan to pay for Go ED.?<br />A: 529 Plans are State Sponsored College Saving Accounts based on stock portfolios. The rules surrounding their use and the withdrawal of funds vary from state to state. You will need to check on your individual plan requirements regarding what the funds can be used for. It is generally the case that the funds can only be used at accredited degree-granting institutions, or Title IV institutions. This means that if a student is not registered at their Home Institution and/or that Institution will not work with Go ED. on financial aid, then a student cannot use their 529 Plan to pay for their study abroad experience. However, the parent/529 contributor can withdraw funds from the 529 Plan at any time, for any reason, but certain tax penalties apply.</p>"
