BILLING INFO FOR MADRID STUDENTS:

When is payment due?
For all ASA programs, full payment (or financial aid verification) is due 2 weeks after the application deadline. This is called the Forms & Payment Deadline. Students may be subject to a late fee if they do not complete their post-acceptance forms and make their financial arrangements before the Forms & Payment Deadline.

If you plan to pay for the program using financial aid (thereby deferring your payment until your financial aid is disbursed), ASA must receive the following items by the Forms & Payment Deadline:
-Consortium Agreement from your home institution's financial aid or study abroad office
-Written verification of your financial aid award and disbursement date. (We provide a "Financial Aid Verification Form" that you'll have your university financial aid office complete.)

Any portion of the program fees not covered by financial aid must be paid to ASA by the Forms & Payment Deadline.

Please remember that in order to provide ASA with verification of your financial aid by the Forms & Payment Deadline, you will need to contact your school's financial aid office and/or study abroad office several weeks ahead of time to begin making these arrangements. Once again, the Forms & Payment Deadline is 2 weeks after the Application Deadline. For full details on how to use financial aid to study abroad, please visit our financial aid page.

How should I submit my payment?
After you're accepted, you'll receive an invoice for your program fees, which will show your balance due and any payments you've already made. We accept the following payment methods:
-Personal check, cashier's check or money order, made payable to Academic Studies Abroad and mailed to the address below.
-You can also pay your balance by e-check by clicking here.

Housing Deposit (down payment)
Because our housing partners in Madrid require a down payment up front in order to secure your space, Madrid students who choose the shared student apartment option must pay a non-refundable $1,000 Housing Deposit (down payment) within 2 weeks of being accepted to the ASA program. Once paid, your Housing Deposit will be deducted from your balance due. Because we cannot secure your housing until we receive your Housing Deposit, we recommend paying it as soon as possible after you're accepted for the best possible housing selection. Please note, Housing Deposits cannot be deferred with financial aid.

A Housing Deposit is not required if you choose the host family option. Full payment or verification of financial aid is still due by the Forms & Payment Deadline, as described in the above FAQs.

Damage Deposit
In addition to the published program price, all Madrid students who choose the shared student apartment option must pay a $500 Damage Deposit to ASA at least 30 days prior to departure. Damage Deposits are refundable after the end of the semester. Please note, Damage Deposits cannot be deferred with financial aid. A Damage Deposit is not required if you choose the host family option.

If you have any questions, please contact ASA!
