Our mission is to make life-changing travel experiences accessible to students who might not otherwise have the chance. I believe that expanding your world should not depend on your income, family circumstances, or the limitations of the environment you were born into. Through the Travel Not to Escape Study Abroad Scholarship, I want to open doors for students who are curious about the world, eager to grow, and ready to step into new possibilities, even if financial barriers or personal challenges have made those dreams feel out of reach. My philanthropic goal is simple: to remove one barrier standing between a student and the kind of transformative experience that can shape the rest of their life.
