From studying French in school, to studying abroad, to falling in love, to raising her children—French has played a central role in Karen’s life. After practicing real estate and banking law, Karen switched gears to create a culturally immersive French language program for grade school children.

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 financial aid programs each year.
