Send a Student Abroad: The Access Fund Challenge

Every year, first-generation and low-income college students earn acceptance into study abroad and global learning programs that could change the trajectory of their education and careers. Then the real barrier shows up: passports, visas, flights, and program fees that financial aid packages rarely cover. Program fees and flights are consistently the two largest gaps Access Fund applicants face, so 80% of this goal goes directly against those two costs.

Access Abroad Project (AAP) exists to close that gap. We remove the financial and emotional barriers standing between underrepresented students and the global learning experiences they've already earned a spot in.

Through our Access Fund, we provide direct financial support to students who have been accepted into international programs but cannot afford to go. Through Globetrotter Goodies, we help students prepare for the practical and emotional realities of studying abroad, often for the first time in their families.

This Give 8/28, every dollar raised goes directly into the Access Fund. Your gift becomes a passport fee, a flight, a program deposit, and for a student, a door that opens instead of closes.

We are a young organization, founded in 2025, built by people who believe access to global opportunity should not depend on a family's bank account. Join us on August 28 and help send a student abroad.
