FINANCES

Program costs: Below are the estimated costs per semester for the Duke in the Andes program for the 2008-2009 academic year. Prices are subject to change.

*The non-Duke student fee includes a one-time, lifetime transcript fee.

These fees include the following (not exclusive):

• instruction and transcript
• program-sponsored activities and excursions
• one load of laundry per week
• homestay meals and lodging
• administrative services of Duke in the Andes staff and center

These fees do not include the following (not exclusive):

• international transportation
• local transportation
• books
• extracurricular activities
• vacation lodging and meals
• visa and other pre-departure expenses

Additional expenses: Additional expenses depend upon the tastes and habits of the individual. Students should be able to attend concerts, plays and movies, go sightseeing, visit museums and exhibits, take short weekend excursions, have an occasional dinner in a restaurant, and travel during the holiday periods. The fall program is five months in duration and the spring program is five months long. We suggest students plan to spend around $350.00 per month for personal expenses.

Financial Aid: Duke students receiving financial aid are eligible for aid for this program (work-study funds must be converted to loans). Students are individually responsible for making the necessary arrangements with the Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid and the Bursar. Non-Duke students are not eligible to receive financial aid at Duke and should contact their home institutions for financial aid information.
