<p>Let me give you an example of opportunities available through Penn State and the Schreyer honors college. D1 who was a Schreyer scholar spent a summer studying mathematics at Beijing University, another summer she spent 3 weeks in Kenya working on an eco village as part of an engineering course. As part of a geography class she collected data for 2 weeks in Bulgaria. She made multiple trips to Hawaii for sponsored research utilizing the Subaru telescope at 13,796 ft atop Mauna Kea. She presented a research paper at an international conference in Krakow, Poland. Funding for all this came from multiple sources within the University (departments, Schreyer), some from research sponsors (NSF), and some came from organizations. The point is being in Schreyer opened the doors for a lot of these experiences and she was able to fully fund these endeavors.</p>
