It is the responsibility of the student to provide payment for any amount of the estimated expenses not covered by merit-based scholarships or the international student grant. Students can expect to draw from income, savings, assets, and other sponsors.
Students will also be responsible for the payment of books, miscellaneous/personal incidentals and travel costs.
After Your First Year at Gordon
As you and your family plan for your semester abroad, keep in mind that colleges and universities increase their total costs each year due to inflation and other factors. You will be responsible for planning and covering that additional increase in cost since Gordon will be unable to increase your academic scholarship and international grant.
