Veteran Study Abroad (VSA) FAQs 18
Veteran Study Abroad (VSA) FAQs 17 FAQs (cont’d) Do I have to pay anything? We partner with universities that are reputable and affordable, so you will never pay out-of-pocket for tuition unless you decide to pursue a degree that is very expensive. However, you will need to pay for visa fees, and moving costs. Remember though, you will be partially reimbursed for your flights! What if my VA payments are late? Luckily for our students, we are implementing the VSA Community Fund in late 2018/early 2019. This fund will be used to assist VSA Veterans with paying essential bills in the event that VA payments are late, and it is deemed to be necessary. Please note that it is still recommended that you have savings available, just in case. We want this fund to be used for those who truly are in a tough spot. This will only be available until the student’s VA payments start. What should I do about an apartment? We usually recommend that you find a roommate or house share, because this will help keep your bills cheaper throughout your studies. In some cases, no deposit is necessary to move into a house share. Check out www.spareroom.co.uk for an idea on some costs in the U.K. What about a driver’s license? You will be able to drive on your U.S. license for up to 12 months. However, before these 12 months are up, you will need to complete a theory and practical driving test to receive a driver’s license in the country you’re studying in. It isn’t as difficult as some people make it seem! Just study a bit and be aware of your driving skill. For licenses in the U.K. please go here: www.gov.uk/driving-nongb-licence. For Ireland, please go here: www.ndls.ie/holders-of-foreign-licences.html. If you have further questions or concerns, contact us at (707)VSA-PLAN info@veteranstudyabroad.com. 19
