Custodianship support for eligible minor students
Ask about custodianship requirements and available support for eligible minor students studying abroad.
Students below the legal age of majority may need a custodian, guardian, welfare arrangement, or specific consent documents, depending on their age, destination, institution, and living arrangements.
