Study abroad or global learning scholarships provide CASL students the opportunity to take advantage of life-changing and career-defining experiences. Study abroad is especially important for UM-Dearborn students because many have never traveled outside the state let alone to another country. Students have had the opportunity to travel to and study in France, Poland, Greece, Cyprus, Iceland, Puerto Rico, Montserrat and Ottawa!
Studies show that cultural immersion helps undergraduates obtain a greater awareness of global affairs, including political, educational, societal, and economic issues better preparing them for the job market where employers are looking for skills that students develop studying abroad. Examples of these skills include critical thinking, self-sufficiency, flexibility, communication skills, and intercultural knowledge and awareness. Access to study abroad experiences provides a competitive advantage as students secure their first jobs after graduation and build their careers.
Support study abroad at CASL for Giving Blueday and give students the opportunity to become globally literate and more competitive when they apply for jobs and/or graduate school. Scholarships of just $2,500 can provide key support that will enable a student to participate.
