If it's only a short study abroad where you go for a year or less to a foreign university and then return back to your university in the US then, yes, you are able to use financial aid to help pay for it. However, if it's a permanent study at a foreign university where you will receive your degree from that university then, no, you are not.

Grants are given out on the basis of "need'. which is a very politically correct way to say they only go to folks who are poor and have poor families. It is my experience that those who do expensive study abroad programs aren't very poor and thus would not qualify for grants... plus they would have to attend a US approved school. Not many of them outside the states.
