help open the next door

A semester abroad, a research opportunity, or a first trip outside the country can change what a student sees as possible. Your gift helps cover the costs that can put those experiences out of reach.

Alumni Abroad Foundation awarded $10,000 in Global Experience Grants to 10 students in our founding cohort. Give today to help the next cohort take that step.

  • While we are in our early stages, our commitment is clear.

    Every dollar is directed toward removing the real barriers students face:

    • The Gateway — Passport fees, visa applications,
      and required travel documentation

    • The First Mile — Airfare and essential transit costs

    • The Stay — Program deposits, emergency travel insurance, and health requirements

    • The Network — Mentorship connections that help
      students navigate the journey with guidance from people who've been there

  • 100% of donations are directed toward student access and program support.

    The numbers tell part of the story:

    • The average passport + visa cost alone runs $250–$500

    • Study abroad programs range from $8,000–$18,000 depending on destination and duration

    • Students with international experience earn up to 20–25% higher early-career wages — a gap that compounds significantly over a lifetime

    • Every funded student becomes part of a growing
      alumni network committed to opening doors for the
      next generation

    You are not just funding travel. You are funding confidence. Perspective. Belonging. Possibility.
