Travel Study Payment Options

Program Costs

All program costs may increase or decrease pending the costs of airfare and room & board. A non-refundable deposit of $500 must be paid within 10 days of acceptance of the program to reserve your space. The remaining balance will be placed on your myCSMD account to be paid by the payment schedule below.

Payments are placed on student CSM accounts. This allows students the following benefits:

• Payment online or on campus via cash, check or credit card
• Options to use scholarships
• Use of Financial Aid overages without waiting for disbursements. Funds will be applied directly toward balance on the account
• Use of the CSM Tuition Payment Plan, allowing payments to be made over the semester

Travel Study Scholarship Available

The Travel Studies Scholarship Fund will provide financial assistance for the tuition costs associated with any travel studies course offered by the College of Southern Maryland. The applicant must demonstrate financial need, possess a minimum 3.0 GPA and be enrolled in at least 9 credits during the semester or immediately preceding the travel studies course for which the award is intended. Applicants must provide at least one letter of recommendation from a former or current CSM instructor or high school teacher.

The applicant is required to prepare and submit a follow-up report or multi-media presentation (e.g., a video or PowerPoint slide show) upon completion of the travel study, explaining how this scholarship and the travel study experience helped the recipient meet his or her educational goals. This report should be based on the student’s experiences.
