Cost
The total program fee for SAR is $4,050 if you are from the U.S. and $4,600 if you are an international student. The fee covers your room, board, materials, admission to all regularly scheduled activities, and 2 semester hours of undergraduate credit from the University of Iowa.
The program fee does not include transportation to and from the University of Iowa or incidental expenses, such as souvenirs and snacks. You and your family are responsible for these expenses.
If you are an international student, the additional program fee covers insurance, two additional days of room and board, pick-up and drop-off at Eastern Iowa Airport (CID), and filing documents to secure your visa.
Payment Options
There are three options for payment of program fees:
- Pay the entire amount on a credit card.
- Pay in four equal monthly installments using a credit card.
- Set up an individualized payment plan. Payment plans are available by contacting the Belin-Blank Center at 800-336-6463 (+1-319-335-6148 internationally).
Financial Aid
You may be awarded financial aid for up to half the cost of the program. Financial aid is awarded on a first-come-first-served basis, while funds are available. Eligibility is typically determined by qualifying for free or reduced-priced lunch. After your information is reviewed, a decision will be made, and you will receive an email regarding the amount of your award. Awards will be applied directly to your program fees. Additional scholarships may be available.
International students are not eligible for scholarships or financial aid for SWR. International students must also pay in full and are not eligible for installments or payment plans.
