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. By supporting our Study Away programs, you can help make these opportunities more accessible.

Your support helps students gain the global perspective and skills needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world. Thank you for making a difference!
