Though many books have been written on the topic of study abroad, few provide in-depth explanations of all the considerations students must make before choosing a program. This book gives students and parents the tools they need to understand the implications and benefits of an international educational experience.  \nWe would like to begin by thanking all the U.S. higher education institutions and leaders who make study abroad a priority, as well as the U.S. and foreign governments, private foundations, and other organizations who so generously provide scholarships and grants for American students to study abroad. In particular, the Fulbright Fellowship and Gilman Scholarship Programs of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Boren Scholarships and Fellowships of the National Security Education Program have made valuable international experiences possible for thousands of American students—including many of those quoted in this book.  \nWe are grateful to the IIE communications and Center for International Partnerships teams, especially Daniel Obst and Sharon Witherell, for guiding this project from inception to publishing, and to theAIFS Foundation, especially Bill Gertz and Melanie French, for their generous support and advice.  \nThe IIE study abroad experts who work on the Gilman, Boren and Fulbright Scholarship and Fellowship programs, especially Daniel Kramer, Christopher Powers, Susan Sharp, Sarah Gleisner, Miche","cbCaijL9h5cuqLjD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijL9h5cuqLjD","pdf",3448975,316,"English","# A Student Guide to Study Abroad\n## Acknowledgments\n## Foreword\n## Chapter 1: These are Global Times\n## Chapter 2: Determining if Study Abroad is Right for You\n## Chapter 3: Choosing a Program\n## Chapter 4: Figuring Out the Financials\n## Chapter 5: Preparing to Study Abroad\n## Chapter 6: Immersing Yourself in the Culture and Personal Growth\n## Chapter 7: Staying Safe and Healthy While Studying Abroad\n## Chapter 8: Making the Most of Your Time Abroad\n## Chapter 9: Transitioning Back to Life in the States\n## Chapter 10: Using Study Abroad to Showcase Your Global Growth and Learning\n## Afterword: Advocate for Greater Global Awareness Everywhere\n## Biographies","[{\"question\":\"What does the foreword emphasize about studying abroad before choosing a program?\",\"answer\":\"It stresses that students need in-depth explanations of all considerations before selecting a program, and that the book offers tools to understand implications and benefits.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide help with planning and decision-making?\",\"answer\":\"It walks through determining whether study abroad is right, choosing a program, and preparing to go, with dedicated chapters for each stage of planning.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics are covered to support student well-being and success abroad?\",\"answer\":\"The guide includes chapters on cultural immersion and personal growth, staying safe and healthy while studying abroad, and making the most of time abroad.\"}]","A Student Guide to Study Abroad - Chapter 1- These are Global Times - read online | PDF",1789648878,796]
