Can I use my federal financial aid to study overseas (NOT through study abroad)?

I'm assuming the answer is "no," but I can't seem to find any official answers on the issue.

I'm considering transferring to Mountains of the Moon university in Uganda. I will be visiting the school in 2 months, as well as visiting other schools, in order to make my decision, if a decision can be made at all....

I will NOT be studying there as part of a study abroad program, as I think I made clear. I will be applying to Mountains of the Moon directly, as a transfer, international student.

I have an EFC of $0 and qualify for all federal aid. Question: can ANY of this aid be used to study overseas, or does the government have a protectionist policy wherein they'll allow their dollars to be spent only in the U.S.?
