Global Experiences Updates
It’s a new school year and maybe you have dreams of studying abroad. The Global Experiences Offices (GEO) has lots of ways to help you gather information to help you make your decision about where and when to studying abroad.
• UNL Global Experiences Fair - Tuesday, September 17th at 11:00-2:00 pm in the Nebraska Union Plaza. Take the first step toward your adventure abroad! Stop and explore all your options, talk to representatives from our programs abroad, and learn about funding opportunities!
• You can stop into the GEO office at LPH 130 for drop-in advising. The GEO Graduate Assistant Alicia is great at helping students who are getting started. She does drop-ins from Mondays from 12 pm - 3 pm, Wednesday from 11:30 am - 1 pm, and Thursdays from 9 am - 10:30 am.
• If you can’t make her drop-in advising, make a plan to attend Huskers Abroad 101. It’s a 30-minute info session that gives you all the basics about studying abroad, like the different types of programs, the terms you can study abroad, and how to select a program. There’s no registration needed, just show up any Tuesdays at 3pm in LPH 137 or Wednesdays in LPH 124. You can check out the GEO Calendar for all of our events, and keep an eye out for Huskers Abroad 102. That’s a weekly info session that will help you learn how to pay for your study abroad program. It should be starting up the week of September 23.
• If you are interested in studying abroad eventually, but don’t have a passport, you can apply for the annual passport giveaway. The application is open until October 1st. It's for students who are getting their passport for the first time. Follow the link to apply.
• GEO has a special scholarship for students who want to go abroad in the future, but don’t know when or how. It’s called the Global Experiences Planning Scholarship. You can apply twice a year, including the current October 1st deadline, and if you win it, you have three years to use the money. Awards are dependent on how long you go abroad, but can be for $1000-$5000.
• The College of Arts and Sciences has seven really incredible study abroad programs led by Arts and Sciences faculty. See the PDF with the list of programs and QR codes for more information and to apply. You can also do a search at this website. Via Program Search
