Please see the Scholarships and Funding page for information that will help you fund your off-campus study experience. We encourage you to look into potential funding sources outside of the usual aid you receive to help alleviate additional expenses you might incur on an off-campus program.

The application deadline for participating in affiliated and Lawrence-sponsored programs for 2011-2012 has passed. Lawrence-sponsored programs (the Lawrence London Centre and Froncophone Seminar in Dakar, Senegal) may still have some availability, so please inquire if you are interested.
The application deadline for 2012-13 affiliated programs is January 30, 2012 and Lawrence-sponsored program (London Centre) applications are due April 4, 2012. Students wishing to participate in an affiliated program must turn in both the Lawrence application and the entire program-specific application (which is available on the program's web site). All application materials (references, transcripts, language proficiency forms, or other application requirements) must be to the Off-Campus Programs office in the International House by the stated application deadline.
It is strongly recommended that students interested in off-campus study make an appointment with the Off-Campus Programs Coordinator Laura Zuege (and, where available, faculty program advisors) well in advance of the time they wish to pursue such study. These meetings help students establish academic goals, explore their off-campus options, and to discuss logistical issues such as timing of participation and the application process.
Off-campus study provides a valuable opportunity to hone and extend the intellectual skills and capacity for civic and academic engagement associated with a Lawrence liberal arts education by placing students in educational settings that purposefully combine classroom and experiential learning. In such settings, students are challenged to apply and question what has been learned on the home campus and to evaluate alternate perspectives and ways of learning.
Off-campus study also provides a rich opportunity for personal growth as students gain independence and self-confidence through active engagement with social and cultural practices different than their own and/or through the experience of educational or research settings whose pedagogical approaches and curricular structures differ from those at Lawrence.
Students who wish to study off-campus are encouraged to make an appointment with the Financial Aid office to discuss their financial expectations. Program costs vary widely and it is best to be prepared for the financial reality of your off-campus study decisions.
Campus visits in the fall and winter terms by representatives from the affiliated programs, as well as individual discussions with the program faculty and staff, provide an excellent opportunity to learn more. Please also consult your academic advisor, other faculty, students who have studied off-campus in the past, and the Off-Campus Programs Coordinator to gather as much information about the program(s) as possible.
Important note: Students wishing to participate in an affiliated program must turn in both the Lawrence application and the entire program-specific application (available on the program's web site).
