Scholarship Consultations

There are many annual scholarships available through Temple University’s various colleges and departments, and the same is true at many of our partner institutions. Not only will Academic Support/Student Success help you through the application process, now we can also help you begin your search for relevant scholarship opportunities!

Course-Specific Tutoring

Though availability of this service is currently limited, occasionally we can provide course-specific tutoring for introductory level STEM courses held at Temple Rome. If we are unable to accommodate your request, we will do our best to connect you with relevant online services/resources from main campus.

Budget Coaching

Stressed about personal finances while studying abroad? The budget coaching service is meant to help students put together a budget for the semester that will help you stay on track for your financial goals, as well as share some money-saving tips and tricks.
