That sounds good. Glad to hear that. I am only today learning about it so I’m eager to find good news and alternatives to the $26K germany trip! I asked on the VIZ facebook group about it but it didn’t seem like they knew much about it because their kids either haven’t done it yet or they were supposed to and it was cancelled due to COVID. One of the parents shared the Germany info because it was his kid was going to go on it but it was cancelled due to COVID.
“Students who can’t afford to study overseas can apply for partial scholarships—up to $3,000 from the College of Architecture—or for study abroad scholarships administered by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and the Study Abroad Programs Office. But often it’s not enough to get students over the financial hurdle. “I had a student here the other week who really wanted to go to Italy, but it was just going to be too hard on her family to do it,” Abbott said. “It breaks my heart.” He stressed, however, that no one is looked down upon or penalized for not going to Europe. I wish we had enough money to cover the difference between a semester at College Station and a semester abroad for everyone,” Abbott said.”
@ChristiR93 “About 30 percent of architecture students do not study abroad, choosing instead a one-semester domestic internship (usually paid), said Abbott.The hindering factor for these students is often financial: the cost for a semester overseas is about double that of a semester in College Station.”
