Undergraduate Study Abroad

First Generation Students

As a first generation student*, you may be the first person in your family to be presented with the opportunity to study abroad. Speak with a study abroad advisor about your plans for study abroad and any questions you have.  

* "While the term first-generation college student is defined as a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college education, at Brown we encourage students to think of the term more broadly. Any student who self-identifies as having minimal prior exposure to or knowledge of experiences like those at Brown may be considered a first-generation college student..." — Brown Undocumented, First-Generation College and Low-Income Student Center (U-FLi Center)
