A Cultural Ambassador
June 29, 2022 09:40 AM
When Ashlen Lemon, a linguistics major and TESOL minor, heard about the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program in Cambodia, the timing felt providential.

A Stay-at-home Study Abroad
June 29, 2022 09:33 AM
Jo Huey, a Middle East studies/Arabic (MESA) major, will be the first to admit that she took a roundabout path to studying the Middle East and Arabic. While serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ in Malaysia, she was applying to transfer to BYU, but she had minimal time to research different majors. When she noticed MESA listed, it caught her attention.

Student Spotlights
April 27, 2022 10:03 AM
Why do most BYU students never intern or study abroad? Cost is a big issue. In 2018, we awarded seventy-two students from across campus a Global Opportunity Scholarship—a unique, needs-based award “of last resort” that helps them with the funds they cannot obtain elsewhere.
