Join us in creating a world of opportunity for the Next Generation. IES Abroad and our future students need you! Never before has Giving Tuesday been more important to continuing the IES Abroad mission. #NextGeneration IES Abroad change a life and change the world through your gift today!
Even for people who are already fairly globally aware, it is impossible to truly understand how the rest of the world works without seeing it first hand. I did not expect to get out as much as I did from my study abroad experience. It has allowed me to be more empathetic to those living across the globe and appreciative of their unique culture. -Sam R. , IES Abroad Barcelona Fall 2019
My capacities for critical thought, compassion, and tolerance amidst misunderstandings have been deepened. I'm more confident in my ability to navigate new and uncomfortable situations and I'm more willing to try new things. Studying abroad unlocked a version of myself that I didn't even know was possible. None of that would've been possible without your help. Traveling is an essential part of creating the next generation of leaders. If you're invested in my generations success, helping us study abroad is among the best things you could possibly do. -Lydia L. , IES Abroad Paris Fall 2019
Students like Sam and Lydia rely on scholarships dollars to help fund their educations. While studying abroad in Barcelona Sam's eyes were opened to new cultures and perspectives. Lydia's capacities for critical thought, compassion, and tolerance amidst misunderstandings have been deepened. A scholarship from IES Abroad afforded them both an opportunity they would have never experienced otherwise.
On behalf of students like Sam and Lydia help us reach our #NextGeneration IES Abroad Global Day of Giving goal!
