The Institute for International Education (IIE), in partnership with Go Overseas and AIFS Study Abroad, CET Academic Programs, IFSA-Butler, and STA Travel, has launched a campaign asking everyone who has ever studied abroad to encourage U.S. college students to study abroad by the time they graduate. The #GoStudyAbroad campaign is part of IIE’s Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative to double the number of students who study abroad by the end of the decade. The contest calls on study abroad alumni, teachers, community members and students to pay it forward by nominating U.S. college students to #GoStudyAbroad by the time they graduate.

The #GoStudyAbroad contest is a good opportunity to connect with American students currently studying in your country and with your American study abroad alumni.

Nominees could win a $10,000 scholarship for study abroad and nominators are eligible to win travel prizes.

The Contest runs from February 16 to March 31,2016.

Please do not forward this email directly to your alumni.
