AIFS Abroad Gap Year / Semester Abroad

Costs you

$19,790

$19,790 quoted for Fall 2027 or Spring 2028 when applying by 1 September 2026 to lock prior-year pricing - this is one specific locked-rate offer, and AIFS prices vary substantially by destination and program, so treat $19,790 as indicative rather than universal. NOTABLY INCLUDED: round-trip FLIGHTS from 25 US gateway cities, housing, on-site staff, cultural activities and excursions, 24/7 emergency support, comprehensive insurance, academic credit, and carbon offsetting for flights. Because airfare is inside the fee, the effective comparison against a $17,000 program that excludes $1,500 of airfare is closer than the headline suggests. EXCLUDED: meals in many housing configurations, visa and passport fees, textbooks, and personal spending - budget $2,000-$4,000 for a semester of food if a meal plan is not included, plus $150-$500 for visas. Deposit required; amount not published. AIFS offers scholarships and grants, and because programs are credit-bearing through host or partner universities, many enrolled students can apply existing federal and institutional financial aid via their home institution - a significant advantage over non-academic gap programs. Non-matriculated gap students generally CANNOT use home-institution aid, so verify your own status carefully.
