Information for Study Abroad Advisors

Each year, tens of thousands of students embark on study abroad programs. Far fewer take the opportunity to break out of an academic setting. Yet working and living abroad can be a profoundly valuable experience—from both a professional and personal perspective.

The InterExchange Foundation was established to allow talented young Americans the opportunity to discover the world by working, interning, and volunteering overseas. Through our grants, we provide financial assistance to individuals who otherwise may not be able to engage in the unique and enriching experience of living and working abroad for a substantial period of time.

Give your students the valuable opportunity to advance their careers, explore the world and give back to the global community. Tell them about the InterExchange Foundation.
