-Cost Breakdown for Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (Summer 2020)
NOTICE
As of Summer 2022, APU offers only an online summer intensive language option. The traditional, in-person, summer language program has not resumed since the start of the COVID pandemic. Once we have confirmation that the in-person program is available, we will update the program budget to reflect the new costs.
This is the estimated budget for this study abroad program. It serves as an estimated cost of attendance for your study abroad program. Students often pay for study abroad through a combination of financial aid, personal funds, scholarships, grants, and alternative loans. The total amount listed as the Total Program Cost is the maximum amount of aid you can receive from GVSU. This estimated cost of attendance does not reflect the amount of aid you will qualify for, simply the cap on how much could be award to you.
