Across Cultures "Expand Your Horizons" Scholarship
“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” - William Faulkner
Getting the most out of life requires both the courage to explore the world, and the kindness and openness to welcome and accept all those you meet along the way.
One student whose profile demonstrates an openness to learning about other cultures and sharing their own will receive $2,000 to help them continue on their path to travel and learn.
This may include studying new languages, traveling to study in a new place, teaching or learning art styles or cooking methods from a new culture, or anything else that demonstrates openness to new cultures in your school, work, or hobbies.
