Every year, our study abroad programs transform the lives of hundreds of U.S. high school students, but we need your help to get the word out!
Many students and parents assume that study abroad is just for college! So you can play a critical role to help us raise awareness about high school study abroad programs and scholarships.
If at least 7 students you referred travel on any of our Global Navigator High School Study Abroad Programs (summer abroad, semester abroad, or gap year abroad), you earn a free 4 day trip to observe one of our programs in action in Seville, Spain; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Berlin, Germany; Merida, Mexico; or Rabat, Morocco.
