For Families: Share the Experience
Parent Publications and Mailings PDF Print E-mail

IFSA-Butler distributes special mailings and publications to keep parents informed about our program details and all the preparations necessary for a great study abroad experience. Below is a general summary and timeline of our parent materials.

Note: IFSA-Butler does not send any parent information, including program bills, in cases where students have requested in writing that we not send information to their parents.

Parent Packet
When a student applies to one of our programs, IFSA-Butler sends a parent packet containing Preparing to Study Abroad, Money Matters and a copy of our insurance brochure.


Preparing to Study Abroad
is country-specific and contains information about our programs and policies, immigration, health care, insurance, finances, packing, banking abroad and more. We created these booklets in an effort to help students and parents understand our programs and to ease the study abroad transition.

Money Matters covers the financial aspects of study abroad, from scholarships to financial aid to our contractual agreements with universities throughout the U.S. Money Matters also details our payment and billing policies.

Each student receives a copy of Preparing to Study Abroad and Money Matters upon application to an IFSA-Butler program.

Program Bills
Unless a student requests otherwise, IFSA-Butler sends program bills to a student’s home address. Bills are sent around each country’s application deadline or once a student has been accepted by a university abroad. Our bills include information about the TuitionPay plan, an interest-free program that allows parents and students to pay IFSA-Butler in monthly installments.
