Aid for Off-Campus Study

Yes. Denison merit awards, need-based institutional grants and federal aid is available for off-campus study for U.S. citizens, resident aliens and international students who qualify.

Ineligible Aid

• DU Bookstore Grant
• Federal Work-Study

Students receiving tuition remission from non-GLCA schools should check with appropriate officials at the college providing the tuition benefit to determine which fees and the off-campus program may be covered by tuition remission.

Denison University tuition remission does not pay fees for abroad/off-campus programs with the exception of the Denison-sponsored Oak Ridge program and the Giessen Exchange Program.

The Office of Financial Aid must receive your FAFSA data by April 1.

No, we do not offer financial aid for summer programs.

Steps for receiving aid for an off-campus study program:

1. Apply for the program with the Off-Campus Study Office by the stated deadline, generally before Thanksgiving Break.
2. The Off-Campus Study Office will notify the Office of Financial Aid of your approval.
3. If you have never filed for financial aid, you can file the FAFSA to see if you qualify for federal financial aid that can be used for off-campus study.
4. If the financial aid award includes a Federal Direct Loan or a Denison Scholar Loan these award types must be in an accepted status and all loan requirements complete, such as the promissory note.

An Administration Off-Campus Fee is billed by Denison. If you decided to go off campus for a full year, the fee is charged again, it is billed per semester.
