UR Study Abroad During a Summer Term

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans

The application process for Federal Direct loans is the same for a study abroad program as it is for enrollment at Richmond. Applications should be submitted at least six weeks prior to the start of the study abroad program.

The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Summer 2025 Federal Direct Loan Application (available March 2025) are required to apply for Summer 2025 loans.

Students who enroll directly with an international school (i.e., who do not go through a domestic host school) are not eligible for financial aid from University of Richmond resources.
