How Can I Afford It?

For thousands of students, financial aid has helped to make their Semester at Sea voyage a reality.

This year, the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE) will make available $4 million in student financial aid. More than 40% of all Semester at Sea students receive financial aid from ISE.

Careful cabin category selection and strategic choices with the International Field Program options can help students keep costs down and maximize program affordability.
