Representatives from IGS and Student Financial Services can answer general questions about scholarships and financing travel study.
Faculty members will be present to provide program-specific information. Study Abroad Ambassadors, UD students who share a passion for study abroad, will also be available to discuss their experiences.
The University’s travel study programs recognize that university education extends beyond the classroom. UD programs seek to challenge students both academically and personally. Travel study experiences help students develop essential leadership skills that will serve them through their time at UD and in their careers.
Students who are unable to attend the event are encouraged to visit the IGS website and attend program interest meetings that are held throughout the semester.
