April 4-5, 2018
The Study Abroad Office hopes that you will go #Allin4Arkansas with us during the 3rd annual All in for Arkansas fundraising drive and help grow our scholarship funds for deserving U of A students to study around the world. The online giving day kicks off at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 4th and concludes at 1:11 p.m. on Thursday, April 5th. Why the odd time? The event runs for 1,871 minutes in honor of the U of A’s founding year.
SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- GIVE to grow study abroad scholarships!
- SHARE your own study abroad experiences on social media with a link to our GSIE giving page. Be sure to set your posts to public and use the hashtags #HogsAbroad and #Allin4Arkansas so we can see it!
EVERY WEEKDAY from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at the Study Abroad House.
Learn all the study abroad basics – program types, locations, housing options, scholarships, etc. Peer mentors are available to help you review your options for study abroad and start searching for a program.
