Studying abroad doesn't have to be expensive. Many programs are comparable to a semester in Lawrence, and with scholarships and financial aid, it can even be very affordable to study abroad.
Students can use most grants, scholarships, and financial aid they already have on approved semester study abroad programs, and they can apply for additional funding if needed.
According to the Office of Financial Aid, the total cost for a semester at KU for a Kansas resident is estimated $12,242, and the estimated cost for an out-of-state student is $19,883. On KU sponsored study abroad programs,out-of-state students pay in-state tuition rates. All students are able to apply for study abroad scholarships, too.

AARON MILES
Former Kansas point guard Aaron Miles is back with the team, according to a University news release.
Miles will join the staff as the assistant director of student-athlete development, although the move could be short term.
Miles, who is dealing with a torn labrum, said his playing career may not be over, but the "golden opportunity" to work alongside Bill Self was too much to pass up.
Miles attended the University from 2002-05 where he finished atop the boards in
numerous guard categories. Miles holds the Big 12 Conference record for career assists with 954, which is ninth in NCAA Division I history.
With Miles on the team, the Jayhawks finished with a fouryear record of 110-28, going 54-10 in Big 12 play. In Miles's first season, the Jayhawks went a perfect 16-0 against conference foes and advanced to one of two Final Fours that Miles would play in during his four years.

"I love helping people, I love basketball and I love the University of Kansas," Miles said in the release. "This is an ideal situation for me to be able to

At 32 years old, Miles is far from being the most experienced member of the basketball staff, but he isn't the youngest. Director of Basketball Operations Brennan Bechard, who graduated in 2009, holds that distinction. Miles is also younger than assistant coach Jerrance Howard, 35, who played for Bill Self at Illinois.

He added: "Everybody in this office is special, and I can learn from them all."
