The College of Staten Island has a wide array of affordable study abroad programs that offer CSI credit and engage students in learning about the world on a first-hand basis. Most financial aid applies and significant scholarships are available. In 2012, CSI students won more than $109,000 in scholarships to study abroad. CSI students can receive grants for many programs, including semester awards of up to $8,000 from our program partner in Florence, Italy.
We all want more CSI students to study abroad and take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. Faculty and staff encouragement is key to motivating our students to take the initiative to study abroad. Classroom presentations with a study abroad advisor from the Center for International Service are an excellent way to get the word out.
