Rice-approved programs allow you to continue your academic learning in the context of another culture and earn credit toward your degree as well as maintaining eligibility for financial aid and retaining your Rice student status. There are over 150 Rice-approved programs in 68 countries for you to choose from during the academic year, semester or summer terms.

Financial Aid & Scholarships If you qualify for financial aid (federal aid, grants, loans, scholarships, etc.) through Rice University, your aid is transferrable to a Rice-approved study abroad program (semester or full academic year).  Rice International Programs offers a number of internal scholarships as well as promoting additional opportunities through Rice University’s Office of Fellowships and Undergraduate Research, professional/affiliate sponsored awards and external scholarships to assist students financially for their time abroad.
