Dates: December 28, 2024 - January 23, 2025
It is strongly encouraged that students arrive on December 27, as Orientation will take place on December 28.
Credits Offered: 3 CREDITS (CUNY tuition is not included in program fee)
Application Deadline: November 1, 2024
Program Fee: $1,225 (estimate) includes housing (double-occupancy rooms, shared apartments), airport pickup and dropoff assistance, cultural excursions and international health and travel insurance. Tuition and airfare are not included in the program fee. All students are responsible for arriving at their study abroad location by the first day of the program; this may mean flying the day before.
Students will be required to pay Qasid a partially refundable checkout fee deposit of 150 JOD ($212 USD), which is separate from the program fee. This will be used at the end of the program stay to compensate for all utility costs as well as any maintenance required after students depart their housing in Jordan. A dry-cleaning fee of 10 JOD ($14 USD) and general maintenance fee (7-22 $USD) will also be deducted from the total returned to the student. Any charges collectively exceeding the balance of the deposit will be charged directly to the student. Students may opt to work with conversation partners or partake in a volunteer program at an additional cost. Please contact the Education Abroad office for information if interested in learning more.

Qasid Institute Scholarship
Additionally, one Hunter applicant, who has paid his/her deposit and been accepted to the program, will be selected for a partial scholarship to the program ($1,500), thanks to the generosity of the Qasid Institute.
The scholarship will be awarded in the form of a program fee discount. The scholarship winner will be chosen based on financial need (with academic record acting as a tie breaker). No separate scholarship application is necessary but the EFC (Estimated Family Contribution) that appears in your FAFSA report should be provided, in order to establish financial need.
After submitting your program application, applicants should email edabroad@hunter.cuny.edu (subject line: Jordan Winter 2024-2025 Scholarship EFC) with your FAFSA/EFC included as an attachment.
