When you study abroad you will need to sign a BS Consortium Agreement with the financial aid office. This way MCAD can pay the school you plan on attending while abroad. The way it works is that you pay MCAD the tuition and MCAD gives it to the new school. You will want to talk to Laura Link about this to make sure you fill it out correctly. You can download the pdf from the MCAD intranet here.
Unless you plan on studying abroad in one of the BSV's sanctioned schools (Currently as of Spring 09 only London) then your grants and scholarships directly from MCAD won't apply. You can still receive your FAFSA financial aid though.

The way that this worked in my case was that I paid tuition separately to my study abroad institution. It is very important to fill out the consortium agreement because then you can still receive financial aid through MCAD but then apply it towards your study abroad tuition, either the directly to the school that you have chosen or to yourself.
