Traveling abroad offers students a chance to grow academically, personally, and socially. Penn State Altoona’s Study Away programs allow students to experience new cultures, challenge preconceived notions, and develop leadership skills that will shape their future. These experiences — whether for a week or a semester — foster empathy and global understanding.
While the benefits are vast, many students face financial barriers to participating in these transformative programs. You can help make these opportunities more accessible by supporting our Study Away programs.
ALTOONA, Pa. — Penn State Altoona will host an Education Abroad Fair from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21, in the Pond View Lounge of the Slep Student Center.
The fair provides an overview of study abroad programs available through Penn State and an opportunity to talk to advisers and education abroad providers.
Students will learn about the application process, available scholarships and travel logistics, as well as how international experiences can enhance their academics, career readiness and personal growth.
