FEA’s Access Partner program is a collaborative venture launched in 2017 to bring together study abroad providers and international education leaders to create scholarship opportunities for students with financial need seeking to participate in international education programs.
“We are proud to join forces with FEA and the many Access Partners who share our belief in the expansive opportunities of international education, as well as our longstanding commitment to access and inclusion in study abroad,” said Jennifer Acosta, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ISA and TEAN by WorldStrides.
Jennifer will join the program’s Access Advisory Board (AAB).
Comprising staff representatives of each member organization, the AAB offers guidance and feedback on the Access Partner program.
