Presented by the UNL Office of International Affairs, the fair will feature study abroad returnees, advisers, providers and UNL faculty who can offer students a chance to learn about study abroad programs that fit their academic needs and personal interests.

Opportunities include year-long to two-week programs at locations all around the world. Students can obtain information on financial aid and scholarships available for study abroad; learn about the application procedures, the cost, credits transfer and other items of interest.

Each year, approximately 700 UNL students earn academic credit by studying abroad and the first step for the journey is often at the Study Abroad Fair. More information is available at the International Affairs Web site, www.unl.edu/iaffairs.
