Study Abroad Fees

Price for the School year:
The cost of the entire academic year in Italy is equivalent to the on-campus Nazareth College cost. The price includes:

Room and board in Pescara from the time of departure until the day of return. This time does not include the winter vacation. During this period, students will be on their own. If they wish to remain in Pescara in the same home assigned to them by the program, they may do so if the family agrees, but they will have to pay a daily fee directly to the family for the said period of time.
Excursions are per itinerary in the school calendar (that is, Venice, Florence, and Rome).
Tuition is for Fall and Spring semesters with a maximum of 15 credit hours per semester. Full payment must be made prior to departure.

Price for one semester only:
For students who register for one semester only, the cost is equivalent to a full semester at Nazareth College. This covers all of the aforementioned expenses, but only from mid September until mid December (for Fall semester students) or from March until mid June (for Spring semester students).

Financial Aid:
Students participating in the study abroad program in Pescara are eligible for all financial resources as if they were studying on the Nazareth College campus. Detailed information is available in the Financial Aid Office, Smyth Hall, Room 132.

Scholarship:
The Quinn-Metz Scholarship for Studies in Italy is available to students planning to study in Italy through the Nazareth College's Pescara program. All students who apply and are accepted for the program will be eligible to be considered for the Quinn-Metz Scholarship. Awards will be distributed through the Financial Aid office in students' financial aid packages.

The Quinn-Metz Scholarship for Studies in Italy was endowed by Mr. David Metz, Chairman of the Nazareth College Board of Trustees, and his wife, Alexandra (Sandy) Quinn Metz. The scholarship was established in memory of Mrs. Metz's parents, Frank and Anna Bizzari-Quinn. Mrs. Bizzari-Quinn was a native of Italy and Mr. Quinn was knighted by the Italian Republic for his services as a vice consul of Italy in the United States.

The Metzs hope their scholarship will help young people come to appreciate the beauty and zest of Italy, to derive from it a more acute sense of art, history and the glories of life, and to refresh the memory of the Bizzari and Quinn families in Italy and America.

Transportation:
Students are responsible for making their own flight arrangements. Students traveling together on the specified dates will be met at the airport upon arrival in Rome. Transportation to the airport at the end of the semester is not provided.

Release of Liability:
All participants (and a parent, guardian, or spouse where applicable) must sign the Release of Liability and Agreement to Indemnity forms.

Refund Policy:
The refund policy is in accordance with the Bursar’s Office of Nazareth College.
