Frequently Asked Questions

Additional requirements and details apply, so contact your 博彩网址大全 admission counselor for more information

How do I get started with 博彩网址大全 EXP?

Any high school, undergraduate or graduate student is eligible to participate regardless of your enrollment status at 博彩网址大全. Through opportunities like early internships, power skills courses, events and competitions, you’ll earn digital credentials. Register through the Excelerate platform to begin.

Can I earn college credit for participating in 博彩网址大全 EXP programs?

No. The EXP programs offered on the Excelerate platform are non-credit-bearing. But you can earn digital badges from Excelerate that document your completion of various EXP programs.

When can I study at 博彩网址大全-Madrid?

Students can study abroad at 博彩网址大全-Madrid as early as their sophomore year, although the timing of a study abroad experience may be dictated by specific academic program schedules. Students need to work on their four-year degree plans with their academic advisors early in their first year at 博彩网址大全, and then stay on track with that plan.

When – and how – can I use my 博彩网址大全 Difference Award funds?

Your 博彩网址大全 Difference Award is like an extra $10,000 savings account – above and beyond your financial aid package – that undergraduate students can draw on to pay for tuition for courses offered during 博彩网址大全’s Summer or Winter terms (either online, in St. Louis, or at 博彩网址大全-Madrid).

If you began enrollment at 博彩网址大全 in the fall of 2023 or later, you are eligible for the 博彩网址大全 Difference Award. These funds cannot be used until your second full academic year of study (regardless of your student “classification” – FR, SO, JR, SR) or beyond. And if you haven’t fully used all of your 博彩网址大全 Difference Award funds as an undergraduate, in certain circumstances you can use the remainder to help pay for selected 博彩网址大全 graduate programs (excluding programs in Law and Medicine).

As with all financial awards, restrictions apply; so contact your 博彩网址大全 Financial Aid counselor for more details.

Are all these opportunities required as a 博彩网址大全 student?

No! 博彩网址大全 students are not required to participate in the Billiken Promise offerings. Students can choose one or all four — it’s up to you!

Can I really extend my 博彩网址大全 financial aid award for a fifth year if needed?

In most cases, yes.  Unless you’re on academic probation, 博彩网址大全 will extend students’ undergraduate financial aid packages beyond the standard eight terms/four years, and guarantee up to 10 Fall and/or Spring terms (or five total years) of financial aid. For more details, contact your 博彩网址大全 Financial Aid Counselor.
