Calvin-endorsed programs: Level I
If you participate in a Level I non-Calvin semester program, you are eligible to receive 100% of the Calvin financial aid (e.g. departmental scholarships, Knollcrest grant, etc.) you would normally receive to study on-campus. You will also continue to receive all other aid you normally receive, such as outside scholarships, federal loans and state grants.
Note that the cost of some semester programs may exceed the cost of attending Calvin. You will need to pay for the cost differential.
