Studying abroad in Spain may be partially or fully covered by the terms of your financial aid package. If the study abroad program you have chosen is directly associated with your home campus, you may have a better chance of having your financial aid money cover your program costs in Spain. However, you can't assume that financial aid will apply; even if it does, there may be limits as to what it covers. Inquire about the terms of your financial aid package at your college or university's financial aid office. You may also be eligible for a student loan, or an additional loan, if you receive federal work-study as part of your financial aid packet. Before asking for a bank loan, ask a financial aid adviser on your campus.

Scholarships, Fellowships and Grants
With advance planning, you may be able to obtain scholarship or grant money from your home university or even from the institution in Spain where you will study. There are many academic awards and fellowships available for students with an interest in studying abroad or other international experiences. To find scholarship and fellowship opportunities, visit college or university's financial aid office, search on-line, or consider purchasing one of the many books available on the subject. Many academic departments also offer student research grants for research completed abroad; most often, the fields of anthropology, geology, and medicine offer research grants.

Other Sources of Money
Even though it may be hard to juggle a full load of classes and a job, working is a great way to raise money for studying abroad. Although working on-campus doesn't usually get you the highest salary possible, campus jobs do help your cash flow. Since your goal is to earn fast cash, you don't necessarily need to look for a job oriented around your future career. While career-oriented jobs can be terrific learning and networking opportunities, non-career jobs may have more flexible hours allowing you to work between classes. Also, try making appeals to your local community, religious and academic organizations. These groups may set aside funding, or take up special collections, for students. If you or your family happen to belong to any community or religious organizations, those groups may be more apt to sponsor you because they know you; these groups often see you as a representative or role model and may even ask you to speak at their meetings when you return from studying abroad. If your studies in Spain involves volunteer work or charitable activities, some organizations may also be more willing to support your efforts.
