word out about this funded study abroad opportunity with a fast-approaching

Scholarships Available


In partnership with MIUSA and in honor of the ADA, the study abroad
organization CIEE pledged to provide 25 "Access the World" scholarships for
U.S. college students with disabilities to study abroad. Now, only 5 out of
the 25 scholarships remain! U.S. undergraduate students with diverse
disabilities may apply for select CIEE programs in summer 2016.

Previous "Access the World" scholarship recipients studied abroad in
countries as diverse as Morocco, Jordan, and Czech Republic and have
described benefitting academically and personally. 

"To be honest, I never thought in a million years that I would be able to
leave the U.S. and experience something different. The scholarship has
allowed me to overcome my fears of traveling alone. As a visually impaired
person there are a host of challenges, some I can expect and some I could
not even fathom. Jumping in head first allowed me to really see what I am
capable of." - Antoine Craig, Access the World scholarship recipient who
studied on CIEE's program in Spain

Encourage a U.S. student with a disability to apply for the Access the World
scholarship by April 15, 2016.
