Within is information to assist you with planning for your Study Abroad journey!  \nThere are two parts to this budget: Projected and Actual.  \n1. The Projected part is for planning purposes and it is an estimate of your income and expenses for the duration of your exchange. These cells are highlighted in teal blue. It is MANDATORY for you to input your projected income and expenses PRIOR to your interview with the Study Abroad Mobility Officer. The currency in your host country will be different; your country may have a higher or lower cost of living than Canada.  \n2. The Actual part is based on real costs paid for the exchange (income and expenses) and are highlighted in pale yellow. These cells are OPTIONAL for you to fill in. During your exchange if you wish to keep track of the exact amount of money you have, this budget sheet will assist.  \nAt the bottom of this worksheet are the Balances. If you have a surplus of money then the balance(s) will be a positive, black number (this is what you want!) . If you have a deficit of money then the balance(s) will be shown highlighted in red.  \nWe invite all students to visit our Global Funding information found under Resources on our website: [www.tru.ca/studyabroad/resources/finances.html](www.tru.ca/studyabroad/resources/finances.html).  \nStudents wishing to continue with a student loan are eligible to participate on exchange. They must be registered in a minimum of 9 TRU credits to be eligible for the loan. If you do have specific questions about the loan application process and or requirements needed to be completed on the loan forms, visit the Student Awards and Financial Aid office in Old Main, across from the Cashier.  \nNeeding assistance with this form? Message a Study Abroad Ambassador on Facebook to help at TRU Study Abroad or stop by a Study Abroad Support Session (SAS Session) by visiting our Resources page for location, dates and times.  \nWelcome to Study Abroad!  \nThis Study Abroad budget worksheet will assist you in preparation for your study abroad journey.  \nCheck Bank of Canada Exchange rate often for appropriate currencies (all countries have a 3-letter) abbreviation:  \n[https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/daily-exchange-rates/](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/daily-exchange-rates/)  \n\n| Description Value |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Anticipated Credits (paid to TRU) |  |\n| Months of Exchange |  |\n| *USD Exchange Rate |  |\n\nIf 9: $2,000.00 If 12: $22,500.00  \n\n| *Country Rate | EUR |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nIf 15: $3,000.00  \n*Please Google the exchange rates as they change frequently.  \n*It is MANDATORY for you to input your PROJECTED INCOME and EXPENSES PRIOR to your interview with the Study Abroad Mobility Officer.  \nINCOME (in Canada)  \nDescription  \nInternational Mobility Award Family Support  \nPart-time Job(s)  \nSavings  \nScholarships, Bursaries and Grants Student Loan  \n1.
