Program Details

Students participating in the China program pay regular St. Lawrence University comprehensive fees. The comprehensive fee covers tuition, room and board, visa, orientation, and program field components.

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 China. There is an Airfare Assistance form included in the application packet for the flight from JFK to Shanghai.
• passport
• books
• transportation within, and outside, Shanghai.

We estimate the required costs for the China program to be $1,625. This does not include discretionary costs such as entertainment, souvenirs, and personal travel. See Money Matters for more details.

Students receive $600 from St. Lawrence University for meals not covered in the homestay.

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.
