The goal of this post is to aid college (and some highschool) students in finding opportunities that will let them study abroad, with the possibility of receiving school credit as well. I will eventually expand to include scholarship opportunities to fund these types of trips as well as fundraising ideas.

EF Tours – http://www.eftours.com
I am working with this group on my trip this year. I am traveling with EF and my School to Italy and Greece for 13 days, for $3600. This includes airfare, hotels, meals (breakfast and dinner), transportation, tours and tour guide, and a 3 day cruise. They offer some nice payment plans and for the price, you’re really getting alot for your money. Through my school you are able to get humanities credit for this trip. The Itinerary for the trip I’m taking is available here: https://www.eftours.com/eLiterature/CST/DBD/F/IABA.pdf

University of Cambridge & Florida Consortium of Colleges & Universities - http://global.usf.edu/educationabroad/cambridge/
If you are a college student in Florida, this program is a great opportunity for you. With this program, you spend a summer in England at the University of Cambridge, while earning up to 6 hours of credit for your Florida college transcript. This program is also open to students enrolled at other American colleges and universities who wish to study at the University of Cambridge and earn transferable academic credit through the University of South Florida. The costs vary from $3890 to $6975, for 2 weeks and 4 weeks respectively. These costs do not include airfare, weekend excursions, optional travel, or books. The schedule of fees and programs is available at http://global.usf.edu/educationabroad/cambridge/fees.html

CCIS Study Abroad - http://www.ccisabroad.org/
CCIS has a choice of mroe than 80 study abroad programs, in 31 countries. The program lengths vary from a semester, summer, to even a full academic year. Many programs allow you to live with a host family instead of a dorm, aiding your perception of the language and culture. They offer assistance with credit transfer as well, with a wide variety of courses available. Unlike the above two groups, you would most likely do a trip through CCIS separate from your school, obtain the credits in the school at that country, and use CCIS’s credit transfer assistance to receive your credit for your trip.
To view costs, select a destination and click on the “Details” tab. The costs usually do not include Airfare, housing, meals, personal costs, books, residences permits, visas, and additional credits, so be sure to factor in these costs. CCIS also offers a scholarship program at participating schools. The list of member schools is available at http://www.ccisabroad.org/member_institutions.htm 

Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals - http://www.cdsintl.org/fellowshipsabroad/cbyx.php/
Being a business major, this is one program that really appeals to me and I plan on applying for this program in the next couple of years. This program is a full year work-study scholarship program, with a strong focus on cultural exchange. You spend an entire year in Germany, starting out with intensive German language training, followed by 4 months of school at a German university, and finally a 5 month internship in your career field. One awesome thing about this program is that it is a scholarship – it includes your flight, tuition, training, a living stipend, and travel costs FREE. However, they expect you to pay for your transportation to certain required seminars before the trip. You also need to bring some spending money – they recommend 300-500 EUR per month. However keep in mind you can usually use financial aid programs to obtain these funds – and your internship may even be paid. They only accept 75 applicants per year, so be sure to take your time in writing a good application. The application deadline is December 1 of the year prior to the trip.
