Generally speaking, at least some portion of your financial aid will apply.  However, every school that participates in this program handles financial aid differently.  Some of our member schools allow all of their financial aid to apply, and some don’t allow any financial aid to travel off campus.  Many schools are somewhere in between those extremes. 

Government aid, such as federal loans or grants by law must be applied to your tuition costs as long as you are enrolled in your home institution, even if you are not physically present on the campus (this is exactly what takes place in the RSP). 

Institutional aid, such as academic, athletic, or musical scholarships are the “property” of your home institution.  It is up to the individual school as to what restrictions to place on scholarships.  Financial aid policy is NOT in any way determined by the RSP.  It is exclusively the decision of your home institution.  You should consult with your campus financial aid office to be certain of the policies for study abroad.
