Studying abroad allows you to discover and immerse yourself in other cultures, gaining an appreciation for world issues and an advantage in graduate school applications and job interviews. In fact, research links studying abroad to improved graduate school admission rates and increased starting salaries.
Case Western Reserve University undergraduates and graduate students can choose from more than 70 opportunities abroad. Programs range from a week to a year, making it easy for CWRU students of all majors and programs to pack their bags and reap the full benefits of international experience.
About 36% of Case Western Reserve University undergraduate students study abroad—more than three times the national average—and participate in: service learning experiences, internships, practica, co-ops, research, and foreign language immersion.
Mission
The Office of Education Abroad supports the mission of CWRU by cultivating a culture of global understanding, responsibility and citizenship through accessible, high-quality courses, programs, and learning experiences abroad that enhance students' education.
Empower More CWRU Students to Experience the World
Education abroad is a life-changing opportunity but financial barriers still prevent many students from participating. At CWRU, 36% of students study abroad, far exceeding the 10% national average, yet our scholarship resources remain limited. The Office of Education Abroad awards approximately $60,000 in scholarships each year, but only 15% of applicants receive funding.
By supporting the CWRU Study Abroad Scholarship Fund, you help open doors to high-impact global experiences that build cultural awareness, career readiness, and academic confidence. Your generosity directly expands access to these transformative opportunities for more CWRU students.
