Financing

January and summer faculty-led programs require additional fees that vary by destination, and duration. These charges are applied directly to your Wheaton student bill. You may be eligible to fund this experience using a merit stipend or need-based financial aid. If you have an unused stipend or want to discuss aid options, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services to review your eligibility.

You may also apply for a Filmmaker in Residence position on some Faculty-led Programs. For more information and to see if this option is available, reach out to the Center for Global Education.
