Advice for peers who may want to study abroad:
If there's one thing in the world that you will not waste your money on, it’s
traveling! Going to different places, seeing the world and also experiencing
different cultures and understanding how different societies lives, will
change your perspectives and enrich your knowledge about the world.
Study abroad is once in a lifetime opportunity and a life changing
experience.
Study Abroad is a profound educational experience that should be accessible to all. Our program
encourages, educates and connects students to this opportunity. Studying Abroad develops our
students and has changed their lives. France, United Kingdom, Jordan, Dubai and Turkey are a few
places our students have study abroad in the past. Currently we have students planning to study abroad
in Ghana, France and South Africa. It is our goal and passion to continue to increase the number of first
generation college students that study abroad.
