Cost of SAGE Participation

What is the cost of participating in a Study Abroad and Global Education (SAGE) semester program at Scripps College?
 
  • There is one cost for a Scripps education and students pay the same cost of attendance fee each semester (including tuition, housing, food and student body fees) whether staying on campus or studying on a SAGE program during the academic year.
  • Students are required to apply to Scripps first and be approved by the Committee on Study Abroad (COSA) prior to participating on a semester program and remain enrolled as a full-time student at Scripps during participation.
  • Students must pay the Scripps cost of attendance to the College regardless of study site or program costs in order to receive Scripps academic credit. Students who study away for a full year pay the comprehensive Scripps fees each semester. Note - the charges will appear on the student bill with entries for "Tuition," as well as the "SAGE Participation Fee" which equals the total of the housing, food and student body fees bundled together.
  • Financial aid, with the exception of work-study awards and Veterans' Benefits, is applied to the fees charged for SAGE participation. Students are encouraged to apply for any program sponsored scholarships or grants as these may reduce the amount to be paid to the College.  Veterans' Benefits can be only be applied to programs based in the US.
