Dreams made possible
“Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to see the world
from my own perspective, meet fascinating
and diverse people, and take cheesy pictures
with every statue I could! Every penny is definitely
worth it.”
—Aimee Lenth ’14, Nottingham Program
2012–13 (full year)
“Associated Colleges of the Midwest’s study abroad program in Japan initially scared me—the price was intimidating and it was over 11 months long. In the end, it was my dream to go to this country. Through online and ACM rescources, I was hooked up with both the Gilman Scholarship and a scholarship from the Japanese government of $11,000. Scholarships, loans, the help of family, and determination made it possible.
My life will forever be changed because of my 11-month experience in this beautiful country.”
—Emily Griffin ’14,Japan, 2012–13 (full year)
Making study away affordable
“I planned ahead to save money and made it my goal to study abroad by J-term of my
junior year. I didn’t get any scholarships, but I also didn’t
have to get any loans; I was able to pay my WHOLE trip
up front by check! I even had extra money for spending in
Europe. YAY!”
—Kara Osterman ’14, J-term 2013, English 239:
In Frankenstein’s Footsteps in England, Switzerland,
and Italy
Amazing experiences
“A once-in-a-lifetime experience, this trip
enhanced my understand-ing of ecology, biology, and
biodiversity of the tropics through unforgettable
excursions and adventures! I am so blessed that I was
able to explore the splendors of Ecuador with such an amazing group of
fellow Luther students and faculty.”
—Jennie Solverson ’15, J-term 2013, Biology 245:
Ecology of Ecuador
“My time in Spain was incredible because I got to meet lots of wonderful people and explore a different kind of Spanish language through total immersion.”
—Aaron Kvale ’15, J-term 2013, Spanish 340: Language and Culture of the Spanish Speaking World in Spain
“I was able to study abroad in Botswana and
enjoyed everything about it! My favorite part was
how people take you into their homes and
treat you like family!”
—Emily Browning ’14, Spring 2013, Botswana,
Africa
