Study Abroad

The world languages department is trying to raise funds for a full scholarship to send a student to study abroad to the university in Puebla, México. Help me in raising these much needed funds. It will provide a great opportunity for a UAFS student and will bring joy to your heart knowing that you donated to an excellent cause. Let's do this! This year’s Day of Giving will take place on Thursday, April 28 (our beloved mascot Numa’s birthday). Our Day of Giving is an opportunity for projects and departments on campus to create unique experiences for our students that couldn’t happen without the support of our alumni and friends.

Study Abroad

Studying abroad is a life-changing experience for our students, personally and academically. Help them get there by contributing to this merit-based scholarship. About our Scholarship These funds will cover a full merit scholarship for a UAFS undergraduate to study abroad in Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP), Mexico. Recognized by M.I.T. as a member of EdNET and affiliated with the Harvard School of Business, this university is a center for innovation and the study of language and culture. UPAEP is located in the beautiful and temperate city of Puebla, in central Mexico, rich in history and culture. The Battle of Puebla, for example, celebrated in the United States as the fiesta of “Cinco de Mayo,” took place here May 5, 1862. In addition to a rigorous academic program of Spanish and Latin American history, this study-abroad opportunity gives students 24-hour immersion in Mexican culture and language, as they are housed with carefully selected Mexican families. Students acquire cultural competency as well as Spanish fluency as they explore the ruins of Teotihuacán and Monte Albán, travel to Oaxaca and Mexico City with their cohort, and discover pre-Columbian traditions still practiced in the town of Cuetzalan. The $5,000 scholarship covers the following: roundtrip airfare, tuition, room and board, and professionally guided field trips including hotel and fees. “UAFS prepares students to succeed in an ever-changing global world. This scholarship opens doors for students who would otherwise be unable to take advantage of an opportunity to explore the rich and wonderful world outside of US borders.” -Dr. Mary A Sobhani, head of the World Langauges Department Student Testimonials “I was impressed by the coexistence of so many cultures and ethnicities. My time in the university inspired me to expand my knowledge of the world and helped me understand the depth of how entwined we are as a society on a global scale.” –Jordan Pomeroy, 2018 Study Abroad Graduate "It didn’t last long enough. It really was hard to go home (I cried the whole plane ride home.) You should start a program where the students ‘accidentally’ disappear for a year or two." —Rachel Smith Jordan, 2007 Study Abroad Graduate "I felt safe the entire time I was in Mexico. Safety was the primary concern for my family when I first considered going on this trip. After being there a month, I have to say that safety was not an issue for me whatsoever. As long as you are smart, such as, not going downtown at 3 a.m., just as you would not do here in Fort Smith, etc., there is nothing to worry about." –Stephanie Waack (Longley) 2010 Study Abroad Participant "The excursions were grand. The best ones to “Las Estacas” (a natural park) and the Folkloric Ballet of Mexico. The others were also impressive, like the one to Teotihuacan and the Frida Kahlo Museum." –Isaac Navarro, 2010 Study Abroad Participant. Connect with Study Abroad on Facebook!

Hola, estudiantes y amigos!This year’s Day of Giving will take place on Thursday, April 28 (our beloved mascot Numa’s birthday). Our Day of Giving is an opportunity for projects and departments on campus to create unique experiences for our students that couldn’t happen without the support of our alumni and friends. The department of World Languages is sponsoring a $5000 scholarship for a summer program at the University of Puebla, Mexico.(airfare, travel expenses, tuition and room and board with a Mexican family). This would be a life-changing experience for a deserving UAFS student and their fluency in the language would increase 100$. Please consider donating to this very worth cause. My experience in High School to Saltillo, Mexico had such an impact on my listening comprehension and fluency, that I was a winner of the National Spanish Exam and was rewarded with a full four-year scholarship to college. Later on, I spent two years abroad in Madrid, Spain, studying the Spanish language and culture while living with a family there. I even joined a band and traveled throughout the country, singing at major universities. In the summer I bought a one month train pass and joined a group and traveled to France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland ,Germany and Denmark. The award that I won in Spanish was instrumental in my acceptance in a graduate school that specialized in the study of foreign languages. I would want every single student here to have the opportunity of studying abroad because knowing another language is as enriching as living another life! Sincerely, Gray Langston
