Three Rs Campaign
Welcome to the New Penn State Global
While the global pandemic presented profound challenges, Penn State has not waivered in its commitment to global engagement. We used this time of transition to innovate across our new Penn State Global strategic plan, begin new initiatives, and reorganize our operations to enhance our collaboration across the institution. From an additional emphasis on pathways to global learning beyond education abroad participation, to a new group connecting current international students with our global alumni family, to exciting new programs which connect international and domestic students together to assist with global concerns in our local communities, Penn State Global is devoted to supporting pervasive global engagement at this land-grant university.
Rediscover Study Abroad
As the world changes, we invite you to rediscover what it means to study abroad:
- Our Back to the World program offers scholarships and free passports, doubling our annual scholarship allotment for 2022-23 and expanding the impact of our financial support.
- Penn State students can choose from several types of education abroad experiences including semester or year-long programs, summer courses, short-term faculty-led embedded programs, and international internships.
- The Perreault Fellows program provides generous funding for an international internship experience at the conclusion of a two-year long leadership development and mentoring co-curricular program.
- We are committed to serving students across the Commonwealth and advancing justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability through our academic program offerings, student involvement opportunities, and program leader training.
