“Through our foundation we have a handful of differnet scholarships that are specifically for study abroad” — Callie Ronstrom

Coming to you from the northern most college in Wisconsin is Callie Ronstrom, the Study Away Coordinator at UW – Superior. At the beginning of the interview Callie talks about the driving force behind her first study abroad experience, which happened to be the reason I studied abroad as well. She also does a great job of explaining the plethora study away scholarships that are available to students not just nationally, but at each individual college as well.

Callie’s travel quote she would like to leave you with:

“To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure.” – Freya Stark
