Increasing Access Through Funding
We commit more than $2 million to our scholarship and grant programs each year, including Need-based and Academic Scholarships, Content Creator Grants, Flight Vouchers, and Affiliate Grants.
Increasing Access through Partnerships
Strategic partnerships within higher education help us reach a broader student population. For instance, we’ve developed a program that provides first-generation students with grants and awards.
Increasing Access through Custom & Faculty-led Programs
We partner with faculty to create short-term, faculty-led programs that resonate with a broad spectrum of students. Examples include programs for first-generation students to San José, Costa Rica and Rome, Italy; a program that explores Paris’ LGBTQIA+ culture; and programs designed specifically for STEM students.
Increasing Access through Peer Advising
Our Content Creators and Alumni Ambassador programs allow students to connect with their peers while they’re abroad and when they return to their home campuses. Both programs allow prospective students to reach out to a familiar face and ask questions about the realities of life abroad.
