Winter break is a great time to start thinking about summer and fall study abroad! All summer and fall program applications are now open and the deadline to apply is March 1, unless program website lists a different date. To help you plan, here are next steps you can take:

• • Think about how long you want to study abroad (a few weeks, interim or full semester?) You can also think where (area, country, continent) you would like to study!
  • Browse programs and pick a few of interest to you
  • Meet with a study abroad advisor to help you decide which classes you could take abroad and what program best fits your needs overall
  • Apply for a passport if needed
  • Apply to the program of your choice NO LATER THAN MARCH 1!
  • Start looking at scholarships and grants to apply for! Deadline for UW-Green Bay spring scholarship and grant applications is April 1!

As always, the Office of International Education is here for you. Email oie@uwgb.edu or send us a DM on Instagram (@uwgb_oie) with any questions you have!
