Follow-On Service Project Paper

Studying abroad will be an experience of a lifetime. Going beyond the US Coastlines that I have never crossed will get be valuable life lessons that I must learn to be successful in my future career. I want to increase my knowledge both inside and outside of the classroom, and I believe the best way to do that for me is to continue to go beyond those small town borders that have kept me

I decided to start volunteering at the local humane society because I’ve always been really passionate about animals and wanted to start benefiting them in the community. Prior to my service I was delighted because I’ve wanted to start volunteering for years and was glad the opportunity had presented itself. Throughout my experience I learned a great deal and met a lot of new people. Even though I’ve only just started serving my time at the Fox Valley Humane Association I can truly see the difference it has made in the community.

Studying abroad allows me the opportunity to experience completely different entertainment and tourism systems which I can integrate to the rest of my school year to help me achieve my degree. Apart from studying, I can apply my new-found knowledge to my life and the way I approach the world around me. My short term academic goals are to complete my classes with A’s and obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with concentration in Entertainment and Tourism Management at CSUF by 2018. After graduation, I see myself completing a Masters degree within the next three years in Management and working in a large hotel, meeting new people and facing challenges and overcoming them every day. I am grateful to have opportunity to apply scholarships to assist my journey to fulfill my

Studying abroad is important to me for a multitude of reasons. The most pressing of which is,

As upcoming high school seniors, many such as myself, desire scholarships in order to alleviate the financial burden that attending a university can bring. Though this considerable and generous scholarship prize money will be used to further my education at Texas A&M University, my main wish is to bring pride and satisfaction to my family. As a first generation student, I am humbled by the opportunity of obtaining an education in America. Since my parents were migrants from Vietnam and Hong Kong, a successful life here was unheard of many years before. Financial strains do occasionally plague our lives, however, we have not forgotten the strenuous hard work and sacrifice that my parents have conquered in order to put their two daughters through

The study abroad program that I am most interested in would have to be the Semester at Sea. The program is offered in the Fall and Spring. The ship travels to over twelve countries where students are able to gain hands on field experience, and meaningful engagement in the global community. (semesteratsea.org) “Our program exposes students to cultures that most students have only read about in books. Exposure to new cultures and people of the world will give new perspectives.” (semesteratsea.org) “While in each country you will have the opportunity to participate in field labs, field programs and other actives that will help push your understanding of the world into new directions.” I am looking forward to tacking advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity to travel the world. I plan to participate in this program the summer of my junior year here at Bowling Green. I highly suggest Bowling Green to any student looking at colleges because of their; excellent academic programs, social opportunities, and Study Abroad

Hope to open more opportunities to study abroad from the low-income student by sharing my experience applying for study abroad. Many low-income students including myself had a misconception of study abroad is very expensive and financial aid might not support study abroad. I want to introduce students to the Gilman scholarship as well as the challenge I had faced when deciding to apply to study abroad in Japan. The detail includes in the PowerPoint are the photo of my Japan trip, share the story about my abroad experience, how I had overcome the challenge of financial need through the help of Gilman scholarship. Hoping student doesn’t limit himself or herself to explore the world and give study abroad a try. Also, in the power point slid I will mention the outside resources that are beneficial for the low-income student such as the Gilman scholarship, where an applicant must be receiving Pell

Every year there are around 435,000 international students enrolled in universities around the UK (UKCISA). Studying abroad for a lot of these students is a privilege, however it can be a stressful experience for various reasons. There are plenty of challenges, other than language barrier, that these students face, like major culture shock, homesickness, and financial difficulties.

Poor education in school and no access to money is no excuse to give up because if one does not have an adequate education, they cannot qualify for a degree that will potentially elevate their socioeconomic status. Born into a struggler family infested with homelessness, destitution, and poverty, I chose to educate myself outside of the classroom because my school failed to provide an adequate education to be successful in today’s world. I chose to study abroad in France, which was a complete learning experience in itself. Despite being in a struggler school, an exchange student foundation, American Field Service (AFS), presented the idea of studying abroad. They offered anyone who wanted to embark on this once in a lifetime journey a full scholarship of $15,000. Initially, I thought that it was too good to be true, but I ended up being the only student in my school that went abroad for a year. After experiencing an entirely different way of life, I recognized the historical differences of

Today’s lecture on Study Abroad made me realize that I have been missing out on the biggest opportunity any college student could experience. Logan Stanfield, the Study Abroad Coordinator did an amazing job explaining this program and how great it is. He explained that there was three common concern that every student always has which is money, language barrier, and will it slow down my graduation? He mentioned that the cost of Studying Abroad is the same or closely to the tuition we pay now. As well, as that our financial aid usual covers all the cost and that only on rare occasions it does not. He explained that commuters and out of state students may pay different rates just like they do at UNCG. The cost of health insurance will range

“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes

Something sees this study abroad is due to my willingness to realize my future goals. The cause is that my goal is to contribute to the reality of a multicultural symbiosis society as a social worker, and to think that Thai learning is important.

What motivates me to pursue university education abroad? Well, the last couple of years have been a long bumpy ride for me, however, the First
