“After spending a semester abroad, I have gained much experience in interacting with different people. People are used to seeing those who we classify as ‘privileged’ study abroad. According to my background I should have not been able to grasp this experience, but I am grateful that I did. I plan to use this experience to encourage others like myself to go above and beyond. I want to teach them that their background does not define them nor should it limit them because the possibility is there."
The Students Beyond Borders Fund is designed for maximum student impact during this unprecedented year.
When you invest in the Students Beyond Borders Fund:
- 50 percent of your gift will be designated for Critical USAC Student Scholarships
- 30 percent of your gift will be designated for establishing the Access & Equity Scholarship, awarding to students of color during the 2021 year
- 20 percent of your gift will be designated for a Student Emergency Fund
“One of the main reasons I am so motivated to study abroad is my desire to inspire my younger sister and other minority students to go abroad. For me, attending college was a goal I wasn’t sure I would be able to meet, but once I did, I was eager to make the most of my experience. I believe that studying abroad is a part of the college experience that many first-generation students overlook due to fear of not being able to afford the cost. I want to show myself and others that studying abroad is possible."
