Alumni Spotlight
Meet Lauren Byrnes (IES Abroad Freiburg, 2011 | Northestern University), a biologist who reflects on how her study abroad in Freiburg seeded the courage she needed to enter into the unknowns of biology, and make new discoveries.
Lauren credits study abroad for making her more comfortable with diving into the unknown and making new discoveries, which is fitting since today she is doing post-doctoral research in the field of stem cell biology at the University of California, San Francisco. Read all about Lauren's jorney.

Our goal is simple: to make the life-changing benefits that come from studying and interning abroad accessible to as many students as possible. No one should be denied an abroad experience due to financial limitations. This is why we commit $5 million to our scholarship and aid programs each year.
But we can't do this alone. With your gift today, join us in educating the next generation of global leaders. 100% of every donation goes directly to scholarships for students with financial need, helping them to pay for airfare, cultural excursions, academic tuition, and more.
