Program Details

Students studying at Nanzan in Japan pay regular St. Lawrence University comprehensive fees. The comprehensive fee covers tuition, room and board, and orientation.

If you receive financial aid, your normal financial aid is applied. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you would like information about additional loans for extra costs associated with studying on this program.

The fee does not cover:

• transportation to Japan. There is an Airfare Assistance form included in the application packet for the flight. Students applying for assistance must give the Financial Aid Office the estimated cost of the flight
• passport
• visa
• books
• Japanes insurance -- required
• security deposit, which will be returned if there is no damage to property

We estimate the required costs for the Nanzan program to be $2,323. This does not include discretionary costs such as entertainment, souvenirs, and personal travel. See Money Matters for more details. Please note that Nagoya is a very expensive city and Japan is a very expensive country. In CIIS (Carnegie 108), we have information about what students have spent during the semester/year in the past.

Students receive a check from St. Lawrence University shortly before they leave for Japan to cover the cost of full room and board.

A non-refundable first payment of $500 is to be made upon acceptance. The remaining sum must be paid upon receipt of bills from St. Lawrence University. Participants in the program will have incurred responsibility for the full cost once they have formally accepted enrollment. Refunds will be made in accordance with the policy outlined in the St. Lawrence catalog, minus any money that has been paid out on behalf of the student.
