About

As Education Abroad Inclusion Scholars, recipients of the award will complete a post-program reflection paper, blog, video or other creative project about the extent to which their study abroad experience shaped their understanding of themselves and their identity/ies. Inclusion Scholars will have the choice whether to publicly share their experiences and reflection work with others.
