Study Abroad

Who We Are

Hundreds of Blugolds each year choose to experience the world through study abroad programs in more than 30 countries. Our programs provide students the opportunity to learn in exciting locations around the world where they find themselves immersed in enriching cultural experiences like no other. Blugolds who study abroad always share the same feeling that it’s life-changing.

What We're Fundraising For

Finances are often the #1 concern for students and families when it comes to studying abroad. With the help of our donors, we can make international study more accessible and affordable. The Global Awareness International Study Abroad Scholarship makes the dream of studying abroad a reality for Blugolds.

Your Impact

Your support will allow us to offer more scholarships, helping students overcome financial barriers and make their study abroad dreams a reality. A scholarship can be the determining factor in whether a student is able to afford to go abroad.
