Studying Abroad with A Disability

University of South Carolina student Staci Mills studied abroad in Stirling, Scotland, and was also a Gilman Scholar. Mills, who has a physical disability, put together a Youtube presentation called “Students with Disabilities Studying Abroad” as part of her Gilman follow-up service project once she returned to the United States.

In this video, Mills talks about her experience, challenges she faced, disability accommodations, and scholarships. The video is close captioned.
