Information for Non-Temple Students and Advisors

Scholarships

Non-Temple students studying on a Temple-administered program are eligible to apply for need-based scholarships specifically for non-Temple students. Learn more about non-Temple Student Scholarships.

You can also review our Scholarships Database and search by your program and eligibility.

You should also check with your home institution for study abroad scholarships they may have. Many university and college study abroad offices have a list on their own website outlining eligibility requirements and amounts awarded. 

Financial Aid

Most home institutions allow all financial aid (federal, state, and institutional) to be applied to your participation on a semester study abroad program. Please speak with your home school study abroad office and financial aid office to confirm their policies.

View our Financial Aid for Non-Temple students section for details.

Application and Forms

Students can apply online. The application includes the home college approval form, which students will sign and provide to their home institution for signature and approval. 

Pre-departure Information and Program Support

Temple Education Abroad will provide your students with support throughout their program preparations. On our main campus in Philadelphia, PA, we have a dedicated Program Management (PM) team who will be their primary source of advising once they have opened a study abroad application with us. The PM team will assist them with questions about the pre-departure process, their specific program and location, and more. 

Once your students are accepted into their program, we give them access to a Canvas site with lots of information about how to prepare for their term(s) abroad. Education Abroad will also host a pre-departure orientation and other sessions prior to going abroad, along with an on-site orientation upon arrival.

How to Apply

View our How to Apply page for general instructions for all students and see below for important notes for non-Temple applicants.

  • Meet with your home institution study abroad office before applying to a Temple program as your own school will likely have an internal application or other requirements you need to complete in order to participate. Remember that your home institution’s internal deadline for those requirements will likely be different from Temple’s application deadline. 

  • Meet with your academic advisor to review your degree and graduation requirements and to discuss your plans to study abroad. With careful planning, a period of study abroad should fit into your program and not delay progress towards your degree. Review course offerings for your chosen program on our website. 

  • Once you have been accepted to a program, you will be issued a Temple University ID that will provide you with access to information related to your study abroad application.
