Current Study Abroad Programs

Did you know?

Spokane Falls (SFCC) and Spokane Community College (SCC) students can take part in fantastic study abroad programs. These programs let you earn college credits while studying in a foreign country.

Why study abroad?

Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity for community college students to experience the world! Imagine swapping your usual campus for the cobblestone streets of Paris, the bustling markets of Tokyo, or the beaches of Costa Rica. Studying abroad lets you explore new cultures, gain fresh perspectives, and build confidence in ways a classroom simply can’t offer. Plus, it’s a chance to make lifelong friends from around the world, boost your resume, and maybe even pick up a new language. Why settle for the ordinary when you can make your college experience unforgettable? The world is your classroom—go explore it!

Paying for Study Abroad opportunities

Financial aid can be used towards tuition and/or some expenses. Be sure to meet with a financial aid advisor to get specific details for your desired program. As they are the experts in the field.

The Gilman Scholarship is a fantastic opportunity for U.S. students with limited financial means to make their study abroad dreams a reality. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the program offers up to $5,000 to help cover the costs of international study. It’s designed to make global experiences more accessible, especially for Pell Grant recipients. Whether you want to study in Europe, Asia, Africa, or Latin America, the Gilman Scholarship can help you gain valuable global skills, stand out in the job market, and have an unforgettable adventure.
