Educational Field Experiences / Student Teaching

The Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching Program (COST)

Cost of the Program

In addition to tuition which is paid directly to The University of Georgia, you should consider the following costs:

$100 placement fee with your application will be refundable only if a placement cannot be made.
Airfare: exact cost will vary depending on destination, time of year, airline, and length of stay. You should check this out with a travel agency.
We suggest you budget at least $125 per week for room and board. This will of course vary depending on destination and type of arrangement made. Whenever possible students will be placed with families. Dormitory or pension-style accommodations are also used (as is a castle for students placed in Harlaxton, England). The number of weeks for placement varies from department to department. This will affect your cost as SOME sites have set add-on fees or additional fees for placements over seven weeks.
Sufficient pocket money to cover weekend travel, unanticipated expenses (i.e. occasional hotel, etc.) Meals, souvenirs, phone calls, airport departure tax (if required), etc.

Note: There are scholarship opportunities available. Any financial aid you are receiving will also apply to the COST Program.
