2022-2023特色学生
王心凌恩德勒——塞维利亚, Spain (Summer 2022); Chiang Mai, Thailand (Fall 2022); and Tainan, 台湾(2023年夏季)
Some of my favorite parts were interacting with the locals including Thai students, 佛教僧侣和市场上的商人. 我从他们那里了解了当地的风俗习惯和思维方式. I also enjoyed trying so many different kinds food and fruit that I would never have done otherwise. 我也非常喜欢在泰国的其他城市旅行. 最初, I thought traveling to the other side of the world was enough excitement but it was a lot easier and more rewarding that I imagined. It actually made me a lot more confident and taught me to be more resourceful.
我有很多话要说! 说到选择出国留学, I will tell you to not be the first person to tell yourself no or that you can’t do it, 买不起, 这和你的专业不搭, 等. You miss all the shots that you don’t take and you owe it to yourself to try and see if it could work for you. 为自己的经历做准备, 我强烈建议你问问你的老师, 顾问, 研究生, 大家都来征求意见. Your faculty and the 国外的教育 顾问 are literally a team of people ready to help you find the right program, 申请奖学金,给你旅游建议. I also highly recommend visiting the writing center if you’re writing essays for scholarships applications as I was a tutor there so I got help from them too. 你只要开口就行了. 这不是一段你独自踏上的旅程.
我在泰国的一个学期获得了Freeman-ASIA奖学金, 以及暑假在台湾获得的批判性语言奖学金.
I was happy to receive the Freeman-ASIA Scholarship because it was also aligned with my other passions for community involvement, 推广并鼓励爱达荷州的亚洲研究. One aspects of the scholarship was a community service component where I visited foreign language classes and shared my experience to inspire others to study abroad. The Critical Language Scholarship is an all-expenses paid scholarship funded by the U.S. 国务院. The purpose is to promote citizen diplomacy and helps American students study languages critical to the United States foreign interests via a language immersion program. 去台湾是我做梦也想不到的事, 我之所以能这样做,是因为这个享有盛誉的奖项.

凡妮莎·诺克斯——牛津,英国(2023年夏季)
My favorite part of studying abroad was the literature class I took at Oriel College. Oxford was home to JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis and the class I took was entirely focused on them and their ideas. 我去了他们住的地方, 他们学习的地方, where they got some of their inspirations from and the places they enjoyed spending time. 我是他们书的忠实粉丝, 所以看到像圣玛丽通道这样的地方真是太棒了, 纳尼亚之门的灵感来自哪里. Oriel College is one of the many schools that make up the University of Oxford, and I still can’t believe that for two weeks I got to see such beautiful architecture and the wonderful libraries on campus. 教授和工作人员都很好, 我想念和在那里认识的朋友一起吃早餐、喝咖啡. 牛津是一个如此美丽的城市!
I would encourage them to meet with their 顾问 and go over any questions they have about the scholarships that are available. 准备, I would also suggest that they do their best to familiarize themselves with the culture and customs of the place they choose to study. Studying abroad is a great experience and I strongly encourage anyone that is interested to go ahead and do it!
爱达荷州第一代全球奖学金和本杰明A. 吉尔曼国际奖学金.
Having these scholarships was very helpful to pay off the cost of my program. 也, I was able to have a little bit of money to spend while I was abroad, 其中包括餐饮和参观历史遗迹和博物馆的门票. These scholarships also encouraged me to continue studying to earn my bachelor's in General Studies at University of Idaho.

Elizabeth Ramirez — Sevilla, Spain (Summer 2022) and San Sebastian, Spain (Spring 2023)
My favorite part about studying abroad was getting to learn about the culture in San Sebastian. It’s very different from anywhere else because of its Basque culture. 我在那里的第一个星期, 圣塞巴斯蒂安日的庆祝活动正如火如荼地进行着, and it was amazing to experience the pride and culture of the Vascos people. 食物也很棒! Fun fact: San Sebastian is known for having a very high quantity of Michelin Star restaurants. 我在国外学习时最喜欢的部分之一就是玩画图, where young people get together every Thursday to drink and eat cheap pinxtos (also known and tapas or appetizers).
如果你想出国留学, you should be thinking a year or more ahead to be sure to meet deadlines for scholarships and your program. I was only able to get all my scholarships by applying a whole year ahead when they were due. 总是检查最后期限,并保持在事情的顶端! 另一个建议是充分利用实习机会, volunteer or tutor opportunity because you learn so much more about your host culture than you would without any of these experiences. 在我的经历中, 我在一家帮助难民的非营利机构实习过, 处于弱势地位的移民、妇女和儿童. 我非常喜欢它,我学到了比我想象中更多的东西. This experience also solidified my decision to go into the field of social work.
I received scholarships from CLASS and the School of Global Studies, as well as the Benjamin A. 吉尔曼国际奖学金.
I got enough in scholarship money to pay for my program including housing, 食物和基本家庭需求. I was also able to travel throughout Europe and I had the most amazing experiences imaginable. I traveled to six different countries and went to concerts and even the coronation of King Charles III. I was able to do the absolute most with my experience thanks in large part to scholarships.
