Education
Studying abroad as a student athlete has many academic, social, and personal benefits that can impact your professional and sporting career. Having open communication with coaches, teammates, and advisors will help you find the right program for you and your needs.
Education abroad can enhance your studies and open new job opportunities. You may need to balance family, work, and personal obligations with your academic experiences, but there are many international opportunities that can fit into your schedule and align with your academic interests. With research and planning, it is possible to manage your responsibilities at home while participating in education abroad.
Whether your disability is visible or invisible, Education Abroad is committed to making educational experiences abroad possible for you. Early disclosure of personal needs and an open mind to different programs, locations, and services can help you identify the best opportunities abroad.
As a first generation college student, you may be the first in your family to study abroad or even travel internationally. There are various resources on campus that can help you prepare for and fund your experience abroad. Utilize your support system and communicate your concerns to help alleviate worries at home and abroad.
