Stanford Students Going Abroad

Announcing a new resource for Stanford students traveling abroad: Stanford University International Travel Assistance Program.

Are you a Stanford student planning a trip outside the United States?

This website is intended for Stanford students who are considering going abroad independent of a Bing Overseas Studies Program to volunteer, do research, work, travel, or to pursue non-credit study.

• If you are an undergraduate student planning to study abroad at a Stanford campus or other program, it is essential that you are working with the Bing Overseas Studies Program on your planning. Bing Overseas Studies Program advises on Stanford and non-Stanford study abroad opportunities.
• If you are considering volunteer work, the Haas Center website is a good resource.
