Abroad View, and several affiliate organizations and institutions, are pleased to provide students with the following opportunities to build on their education abroad experiences:

Forum on Education Abroad Undergraduate Student Research Awards »

The Forum on Education Abroad, an Abroad View Sponsor, is an association that serves the international education field. It organizes the annual Under-graduate Research Awards Competition, which showcases the most rigorous and significant undergraduate research that occurs as part of education abroad programs or that focuses on education abroad itself. This research speaks to the many ways in which students come to understand other cultures and societies through a research framework and how they connect their learning overseas to their academic and professional pursuits.


Global Snapshot »

This nationwide, annual intercollegiate event builds a picture of daily life in communities around the world, as experienced by U.S. college students studying abroad. The project was developed by the Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Union College Partnership for Global Education and is hosted by the Abroad View Foundation during International Education Week.
Please note: We are not running Global Snapshot in 2009-2010.


Green Passport Essay Contest»

The Green Passport program is a nationwide initiative that promotes socially and environmentally conscious study abroad experiences. Abroad View sponsors this program and hosts an annual essay contest addressing responsible travel and global sustainability topics.


Student Diplomat Competition »

NAFSA: Association of International Educators and Abroad View host an annual Student Diplomat Competition for current and recently returned study abroad students to submit compelling stories in essay and video form that articulate how their undergraduate international experiences have helped meet the United States’ need to understand global situations and compete in the global arena.
