The HU Bison Abroad Program is determined to send 10% or more of the undergraduate student body abroad by 2020!
Why is this our goal, you may ask? Because it is understood that studying abroad is one of the most meaningful opportunities afforded to Howard students of all majors and impacts their personal, academic, and professional growth- forever.
To reflect these values, we have created two hashtags to proclaim that study abroad is definitely for Howard students, despite the national data that reflects African-American students' lack of participation. These hashtags are #HUbisonabroad and #studyabroadsoblack and I invite you, to be a part of this movement! --

We would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to our partners, CET Academic Programs, IES Abroad, CIEE, and AIFS for each sponsoring a table at our 150th
Charter Day Gala in support of Howard University’s Bridging the Gap Scholarship Fund. Howard University supports study abroad by allowing students to use their full financial aid package towards the costs of studying abroad, not common among higher education institutions. We are grateful to have partners dedicated to providing meaningful global experiences for our students! THANK YOU!
