The 91×ÔÅÄ Board of Directors has committed to matching gifts that support study abroad scholarships up to $5 million, unlocking a total of $10 million in new scholarships funds for college and high school students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to study abroad.

Why Give
When you support study abroad scholarships, you are not giving students a free trip. You are changing their perspective and showing them that things exist outside of just their current circumstances… There is really no dollar amount to the value of self-worth. What this experience gives is trust in yourself that you can do hard things.

By supporting study abroad scholarships, you are equipping the leaders of tomorrow with the intercultural skills and empathy they need to understand the concerns of others without preconception or prejudice. You are preparing the next generation to strive for peace and tackle the biggest global challenges.
In our current geopolitical climate, as many nations turn inward and international cooperation is declining, 91×ÔÅÄ’s efforts to build bridges across cultural divides are more important than ever.
