“I would like to thank my donors for contributing to one of the highlights of not only my college experience but also my life. There is not a day that goes by that something does not remind me of being abroad, and with that a positive memory of something I did there. My IES Abroad scholarship has given me the opportunity to grow as a student, a person, a professional, and most of all it has allowed me to make the most amazing memories.”
