The Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) is a non-profit organization, which provides scholarships to minority, first-generation, and other types of underrepresented students in the U.S. DIS recently joined FEA’s Access Partners. Each Access Partner pledges $5,000 per semester to support FEA scholarship applicants participating in their programs.
We are proud to join forces with FEA and the many Access Partners who share our belief in the expansive experiences that international educational offers as well as our longstanding commitment to access and inclusion in study abroad.” – Malene Torp, Executive Director of DIS
