Are you thinking about going abroad? Have you already researched study abroad scholarships, but you also want to explore alternate funding opportunities? Our affiliated study abroad partner, AIFS Abroad, is offering a virtual workshop called Creative Virtual Fundraising to Go Abroad. In this session, the facilitators will be brainstorming ideas and presenting real-life stories about students who have successfully raised money for study abroad through fundraising.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, February 22, at 2:00 pm. Register here if you'd like to participate!
