Students are expected to pay for their own airfare between the US and Bamako (Mali) and for books and personal expenses, as well as the expenses of any independent travel. An estimated $400 would be a reasonable amount for personal expenses and the purchase of some local artifacts. Student financial aid is applicable as on campus.
