The international crisis of COVID-19 has reinforced that the greatest challenges facing our world are not bound by borders, constrained by continents, or solved in societal silos. To tackle worldwide challenges, the leaders of tomorrow will need a worldwide education today. WWU students who study abroad can be these future leaders, but they need your help.
The world is on lockdown, but not for long. Soon, students will be faced with enormous financial obstacles to safely travel, learn, and participate in transformational study abroad experiences. These opportunities will soon be out of reach for students already struggling to afford their education, but not if you can help.
Please consider a gift to support Education Abroad Scholarships today! The first $1,000 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar by Lee Sternberger and Craig Shealy to inspire support and increase the number of students who can access transformational study abroad experiences!

"This opportunity of studying abroad is something that I didn't see coming for me, as a student of multiple marginalized identities. While abroad, I hope to make a positive impact in the community, to continue to invest in my education through adding diverse experiences to it, and to fully experience my trip that I am incredibly grateful to be taking apart of."
