Overall Experience
I learned to be confident in who I am and to feel the fear of new experiences but do them anyway. I took on many things I never thought I could do on my own with a confidence I never knew I was capable of. I think because I was pushed out of my comfort zone I was actually able to experience life in a way that at home I would nev... - University of Tennessee - Chattanooga View Entire Review

This award is intended for students within the LGBTQIA+ community, as part of CIS Abroad’s commitment to Generation Study Abroad. Studying abroad as an LGBTQIA+ or gender nonconforming student brings an additional set of challenges and options to consider. There are some questions you may want to ask yourself, and research to be done, before choosing a study abroad program – but our LGBTQIA+ students have amazing experiences abroad and often find local LGBTQIA+ communities to be a part of. Recipients will select from a variety of mediums to share their story while abroad, in addition to submitting a photo testimonial.

Recipients will share their story of learning and exploration while abroad with a photo gallery and their choice of travel vlog, blogging, or an Instagram takeover.
