If I am a student at an approved college/university and I am planning to study outside the US for one semester, will I receive DCTAG funds for that semester?

To learn if the institution(s) you are considering are eligible to participate in DCTAG, visit www.osse.dc.gov and follow the link to “Postsecondary Education.” Choose the grant(s) you believe you are eligible for and click on that grant(s) “Eligible Institutions” link.

Most study-abroad programs are ineligible for DCTAG funding. Most colleges/universities are ineligible for one or more of the listed reasons below:

1. The program is at another college or university and the tuition costs are paid to that college or university rather than the home college or university.
2. The credits earned must be transferred back to the home college or university.
3. The student is not considered as being enrolled at the home college or university but considered a student at the study abroad university instead.
4. If at the home institution, most study-abroad programs have a flat tuition rate. There is no out-of-state tuition charge. All students pay the same tuition cost regardless of their residency.
