Wondering How to Afford Study Abroad?

  • "I'd say meeting new people and experiencing a new culture is probably the more exciting elements of studying abroad. Meeting a new family in Chile was also something that I wasn't expecting, they will forever be in my heart and I consider them part of my family as well."

    Raydel R., Spring '18, Valparaiso Liberal Arts

  • "Participating in a CIEE Study Abroad is truly an once-in-a-lifetime experience."
