Financial Aid
Corban University institutional financial aid does not apply to GlobalEd or other study abroad programs. Most federal and state grants and loans are applicable to GlobalEd and other study abroad options. Current and prospective students may consult with the Office of Financial Aid on the financial aid resources available to help cover the cost of these programs.
