Students who receive VA benefits for tuition
VA will pay for Study Abroad tuition only for courses taken at the Fordham London. At the Fordham London Centre the VA will continue to pay for net tuition and fees as they would at Fordham (net tuition is tuition less any scholarships you receive) and does not cover any Study Abroad specific charges (Study Abroad Participation Fee, Study Abroad Application Fee, Study Abroad Deposit, Study Abroad Housing, Study Abroad Program Fee). In general, the VA only covers fees that ALL Fordham students are charged ( I.e. general fee, technology fee). You will receive a monthly housing stipend based upon the international rate.
*VA will only cover Study Abroad-specific charges if study abroad is required for the student program or graduation.
