Studying abroad affords students a wide variety of personal, professional, and academic benefits. However, nationally, only 10% of U.S. undergraduates participate in a study abroad experience due to cost often being the number one obstacle. The UIC Study Abroad Accessible Frontiers Fund was established to expand access to study abroad, especially for UIC’s diverse student population, many of whom are traditionally underrepresented. One of the key initiatives supported by this fund is UIC’s First Year Flames Abroad students. Please consider supporting UIC’s efforts to increase access to study abroad.
