Study Abroad can change your life

Studying abroad is one of those things that can change your life forever, allowing you to travel to countries around the globe and immerse yourself in different cultures.On Thursday, Sept. 29, the Center for Global Engagement will host a study abroad fair on the dining hall patio from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.If it rains, the fair will be moved to the banquet room on the second floor of the new dining hall.

This fair will give students the opportunity to see all the study abroad programs available through North Georgia and the classes that they offer. Information about financial aid and scholarships will also be available.Applications for several scholarships, such as the Boren Scholarship, Gilman Scholarship and Fund on Education Abroad Scholarship are already open.The selection process for Spring 2012 exchange programs are also open.Students who are unable to attend the fair but want more information about studying overseas can visit The Center For Global Engagements at 343 Hansford Hall.
