The University of Rochester’s Center for Education Abroad is raising funds to help support scholarships for minority students going abroad (in partnership with Fund For Education Abroad)!  University of Rochester students have previously received FEA scholarships, so your support can help underrepresented UR students have the opportunity to go abroad!

FEA gives preference to students in financial need, students of color, community college, and first-generation college students. The Equal Access Run will take place the week of September 7, with runners or walkers completing their fundraising and sharing their stories on September 12. Runners are invited to run (or walk!) 10K or any distance that presents a personal challenge, and to fundraise to meet our goal! 

We are participating in the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) virtual "Equal Access Run" to help raise funds to support underrepresented students in study abroad and to raise awareness of this important issue. In this moment of crises, including a global pandemic and a reckoning of racial inequity, we know we should do even more as international educators. As the study abroad field pauses and looks to the future, let’s work together now to make sure more scholarship funding is available for our Black, Latinx, and other underrepresented students when programs resume.
