Do you think education abroad is too expensive for you?  Would you study Arabic, Swahili, Portuguese, Chinese, Czech, or Maya if you knew full scholarships were available to do so? Carolina offers global opportunities and resources that will help you increase your global competencies, learn less commonly taught foreign languages and travel the world, all of which will make you a more competitive candidate for employment or graduate school.  Meet your peers who have broken through cultural and financial barriers in order to experience education abroad and travel around the world.
