Out-of-Pocket Costs

Students are responsible for purchasing flights to and from the program location, and will be notified when to book flights. We recommend comparing tickets on multiple sites to ensure the best fare.

In addition to airfare, participants should budget for other out-of-pocket costs, including daily meals (except for included welcome and farewell meals); transportation to and from the airport; passport and/or visa fees (if applicable); vaccination costs (if applicable); and other personal incidentals. These costs will vary depending on individual students' budgets, preferences, and choices. Students are encouraged to research potential costs by using online budgeting tools such as Numbeo, Expatistan, and Budget Your Trip.

Scholarships

NYU Steinhardt offers several graduate study abroad scholarships and maintains a list of additional external funding opportunities.

Study Abroad Budget Worksheet

We've created a tool called the Study Abroad Budget Worksheet to help you estimate the cost of your study abroad experience and identify any gaps in funding. We encourage all students to save a copy of the Worksheet and add their expected costs and sources of funding. Contact the Steinhardt Office of Global Affairs with any questions.

PLEASE NOTE: This spreadsheet lists possible expenses and may not be all-inclusive of program costs. In addition, your costs may fluctuate based on changes in currency exchange rates, airfare, varying personal lifestyles, etc. While this is a good tool for reviewing study abroad expenses, the results should be considered to be an estimate of the total cost of participation.

Housing

Students stay in shared-occupancy housing arranged by the Office of Global Affairs. Your housing is included in your Program Fee. Group accommodation dates correspond with the program dates listed above.

Flight, Travel, and Visa Information

Flight: Students book their own travel to coincide with program dates. Please keep in mind that flights arriving in Prague typically depart from New York a day in advance. All participants are strongly encouraged to purchase refundable flights.
