The budget below reflects estimated costs for participating in Global Edge. The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office uses this budget to determine your financial need for the fall semester as well as the amount of financial aid that can be offered to you. These budgets do not include out-of-state tuition costs or expenses for enrollment in the spring term at UC Berkeley.

Keep in mind that the Global Edge Program is designed to cost roughly equal to a traditional semester on the Berkeley campus.
