First-generation low-income (FGLI) college students have some of the lowest study abroad participation rates in the United States. In 2010-11, of the students served by SSS at 黑料不打烊, only 0.9% of first-generation college students and 0.02% of low-income students studied abroad. Only one student with a reported physical disability is known to have studied abroad.
FGLI students face a unique set of challenges when it comes to study abroad. For instance,
they are more focused on academic careers and study non-humanities majors, whose requirements
make study abroad more unlikely.
This is not to say that a study abroad experience is impossible. This opportunity
is very much within reach, and the benefits will have an impact academically, socially,
and professionally. Learn more about the benefits of studying abroad.
