Tuition

If you are considering study abroad, we encourage you to contact Financial Aid Office directly to determine whether your grants, such the Pell Grant or Tennessee Promise, can help cover the costs.

If participating in one of the Columbia State Partnership Programs in Spring, please keep in mind that you will still be responsible for the standard tuition and fees set by the college in addition to the study abroad program fee.
