Financing

Wheaton Faculty-Led Short-Term Programs in January and summer are an additional cost to participants. Program costs vary according to destination, duration, and included costs. Program fees will be applied to the Wheaton College student bill during regular billing cycles.

Students participating in faculty-led programs in January and summer may be eligible for need-based financial aid, after review of budgets and availability by Student Financial Services. Certain students may be eligible to use merit stipends to fund this experience. If you have an unused merit stipend, please contact Career Services for more details on your particular situation.

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 Global Education.
