How to Apply to an SFS Program
When applying to a study abroad program, there are lots of moving parts to keep track of. Follow the steps below to make sure you don't miss anything!
Before You Apply:
- Check with your home school for their requirements and deadlines. You should start the conversation with your home school study abroad office to discuss credit transfer, approved programs, financial aid, and any internal application/process.
- Check the SFS eligibility requirements, which can be found on the Admissions Overview page.
- Discuss SFS with your family, friends, pet, coach, and anyone else in your support network.
- Apply for or renew your passport—it's good to have even if you don’t study abroad with SFS!
- Review the costs for your program and learn more about the SFS financial aid process.
SPECIAL COVID-19 PROGRAM AND APPLICATION PROCESS UPDATES
To help expedite the application process for the high volume of program applicants, SFS will be waiving the phone interview. Once all application materials have been received, students can expect to receive their admissions decision via email. SFS will be providing online pre-departure orientations that all students will be required to attend.
SFS Admissions is here to answer student, parent, or advisor questions regarding programs and the amended application process. We urge students to review the resources available on the program page, especially the Field Guide, Academic Handbook, and Policies and Procedures, which may answer many program questions. Admissions can be reached at
admissions@fieldstudies.org.
For additional updates regarding refunds and program adjustments due to the pandemic, visit our

Step I: Online Application Form
\n
\n - To access the SFS online application form, you will first create an account on the SFS portal. You can then begin the online application form. Your progress will auto-save as you work through the form and you can log in at any time to continue working where you left off.
\n \t- SFS does not charge an application fee.
\n - Apply using the form for your chosen term (Ex: Fall Semester, Spring Semester, Winter Session, or Summer Term).
\n
\n \n
Start your application\n \n \n \n
Step II: Supplemental Application Items
\nA complete application includes the following items which may be submitted in any order. Once your online application form has been submitted and processed, you will have access to a checklist via your SFS portal to track your progress and submit the following items. \n \n \n
Log in to your SFS portal\n \n[row]\n[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']\n
Two (2) SFS References
\nSFS uses an electronic form to collect the following two references:\n
\n \t- SFS Academic Reference should be completed by a teacher, professor or academic advisor who is well-acquainted with your current academic performance.
\n \t- SFS Character Reference should be completed by someone who knows you well personally, such as an academic advisor, a job supervisor, athletic coach, etc. It is not appropriate for this reference to be completed by a relative, peer, or family friend.
\n
How to submit: Log in to your SFS portal to access your checklist. Click the “Start” button on your checklist to request each reference. The person you nominate to complete the reference on your behalf will receive a link to the reference form. You can check the status of your references on your checklist.\n[/column]\n[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']\n
Official Transcript(s)
\nYou will need to have an official transcript(s) sent directly to SFS from any college or university you have attended. When we receive your transcript, we will mark it as received on your checklist.\n
\nHow to submit: \n \t- If your home school offers an electronic official transcript option, have it sent directly from your registrar’s office to admissions@fieldstudies.org.
\n \t- If your home school does not offer an electronic option, please have your official transcript sent via mail to SFS at:
\n
\nThe School for Field Studies\n100 Cumming Center, Suite 534-G\nBeverly, MA 01915
\n[/column]\n[/row]\n[row]\n[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']\n
Home School Approval
\nIf you will be enrolled in a college or university during your time abroad with SFS, you will need to obtain approval from your home school’s study abroad office. To do so, complete the
SFS Participation Approval Form with the assistance of the study abroad office on your campus. \n \n
If you will not be enrolled in a college or university, you will not need to complete this form and should contact us at admissions@fieldstudies.org for more information. \n \n
How to submit: Log in to your SFS portal to access your checklist. Use the ‘Upload’ button to submit the completed and signed form. Your study abroad office can submit this on your behalf by emailing the form to
admissions@fieldstudies.org.\n \n \n
Download the Participation Approval Form\n \n[/column]\n[/row]\n \n
Step III: Admissions Interview*
\nStudents who have completed their applications will be contacted for a phone interview with an SFS Admissions Counselor. \n \n
\nWhat to Expect: \n \t- The SFS Admissions Interview is a 30-minute question-and-answer session so that we can get to know you and you can learn more about your SFS program. You will receive some reading material in advance so that you can prepare for this conversation. Be ready with questions (and answers)!
\n \t- Students typically receive their admissions decision within 1 week of the phone interview. After receiving your decision, you will have 10 business days to confirm your enrollment in your SFS portal.
\n \t- Please note that final acceptance to all programs is contingent upon medical approval.
\n
\n*
NOTE: Winter session applicants will not be required to complete an admissions interview prior to receiving their admissions decision. Complete applications will be reviewed and decisions will be posted to student accounts. Students will be notified of admissions decisions via email. Winter term applicants are welcome to schedule advising calls with our Admissions team by contacting
admissions@fieldstudies.org.\n ","blocks":[],"position":null,"inactive":false},{"id":"contact","is_hidden":true,"section":{"type":"Custom Section","user_defined":true,"path":"/wp-content/themes/mx-theme/atw_app/extensions/fields/slider/views/sections/image-band-row.html","key":"image-band","label":"Image Band","template":"image-band-row","group":""},"body":"

Step I: Online Application Form
- To access the SFS online application form, you will first create an account on the SFS portal. You can then begin the online application form. Your progress will auto-save as you work through the form and you can log in at any time to continue working where you left off.
- SFS does not charge an application fee.
- Apply using the form for your chosen term (Ex: Fall Semester, Spring Semester, Winter Session, or Summer Term).
Start your application
Step II: Supplemental Application Items
A complete application includes the following items which may be submitted in any order. Once your online application form has been submitted and processed, you will have access to a checklist via your SFS portal to track your progress and submit the following items.
Log in to your SFS portal
[row]
[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']
Two (2) SFS References
SFS uses an electronic form to collect the following two references:
- SFS Academic Reference should be completed by a teacher, professor or academic advisor who is well-acquainted with your current academic performance.
- SFS Character Reference should be completed by someone who knows you well personally, such as an academic advisor, a job supervisor, athletic coach, etc. It is not appropriate for this reference to be completed by a relative, peer, or family friend.
How to submit: Log in to your SFS portal to access your checklist. Click the “Start” button on your checklist to request each reference. The person you nominate to complete the reference on your behalf will receive a link to the reference form. You can check the status of your references on your checklist.
[/column]
[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']
Official Transcript(s)
You will need to have an official transcript(s) sent directly to SFS from any college or university you have attended. When we receive your transcript, we will mark it as received on your checklist.
How to submit:
- If your home school offers an electronic official transcript option, have it sent directly from your registrar’s office to admissions@fieldstudies.org.
- If your home school does not offer an electronic option, please have your official transcript sent via mail to SFS at:
The School for Field Studies
100 Cumming Center, Suite 534-G
Beverly, MA 01915
[/column]
[/row]
[row]
[column lg='6' md='6' sm='12' xs='12']
Home School Approval
If you will be enrolled in a college or university during your time abroad with SFS, you will need to obtain approval from your home school’s study abroad office. To do so, complete the
SFS Participation Approval Form with the assistance of the study abroad office on your campus.
If you will not be enrolled in a college or university, you will not need to complete this form and should contact us at admissions@fieldstudies.org for more information.
How to submit: Log in to your SFS portal to access your checklist. Use the ‘Upload’ button to submit the completed and signed form. Your study abroad office can submit this on your behalf by emailing the form to
admissions@fieldstudies.org.
Download the Participation Approval Form
[/column]
[/row]
Step III: Admissions Interview*
Students who have completed their applications will be contacted for a phone interview with an SFS Admissions Counselor.
What to Expect:
- The SFS Admissions Interview is a 30-minute question-and-answer session so that we can get to know you and you can learn more about your SFS program. You will receive some reading material in advance so that you can prepare for this conversation. Be ready with questions (and answers)!
- Students typically receive their admissions decision within 1 week of the phone interview. After receiving your decision, you will have 10 business days to confirm your enrollment in your SFS portal.
- Please note that final acceptance to all programs is contingent upon medical approval.
*
NOTE: Winter session applicants will not be required to complete an admissions interview prior to receiving their admissions decision. Complete applications will be reviewed and decisions will be posted to student accounts. Students will be notified of admissions decisions via email. Winter term applicants are welcome to schedule advising calls with our Admissions team by contacting
admissions@fieldstudies.org.

How to Apply to an SFS Program
When applying to a study abroad program, there are lots of moving parts to keep track of. Follow the steps below to make sure you don’t miss anything!
Before You Apply:
- Check with your home school for their requirements and deadlines. You should start the conversation with your home school study abroad office to discuss credit transfer, approved programs, financial aid, and any internal application/process.
- Check the SFS eligibility requirements, which can be found on the Admissions Overview page.
- Discuss SFS with your family, friends, pet, coach, and anyone else in your support network.
- Apply for or renew your passport—it’s good to have even if you don’t study abroad with SFS!
- Review the costs for your program and learn more about the SFS financial aid process.
SPECIAL COVID-19 PROGRAM AND APPLICATION PROCESS UPDATES
To help expedite the application process for the high volume of program applicants, SFS will be waiving the phone interview. Once all application materials have been received, students can expect to receive their admissions decision via email. SFS will be providing online pre-departure orientations that all students will be required to attend.
SFS Admissions is here to answer student, parent, or advisor questions regarding programs and the amended application process. We urge students to review the resources available on the program page, especially the Field Guide, Academic Handbook, and Policies and Procedures, which may answer many program questions. Admissions can be reached at admissions@fieldstudies.org.
For additional updates regarding refunds and program adjustments due to the pandemic, visit our COVID-19 updates page.
