📕 ✈ Study abroad can be a life-changing experience, but for many Health & Kinesiology students, cost is the biggest barrier.

🤝 You can support the Health & Kinesiology International Study Abroad Fund for Orange & Blue Days! These programs give Illinois students the chance to study and learn around the world 🌎.

If 15 donors give, the program unlocks an additional $1,000 to support student travel. Even a small gift helps open the door for students who might otherwise miss this opportunity.
