These affiliates offer a variety of programs in countries all over the world. Students were serious about studying abroad, and the interactions were lively and informative. Expanded Fair hours will be offered next year to allow more students the opportunity to learn about travel and study abroad. WIU's Travel and Study Abroad Programs finalized a new affiliation with the AustraLearn program during the 2000-2001 academic year. To this end, AustraLearn offers students the opportunity to study at any of nineteen universities located in Australia or New Zealand.
Favorite majors are biology and recreation, park and tourism administration.
Students must meet all eligibility requirements of both WIU Travel and Study Abroad and the host university. The scholarship coordinator has organized a file of all possible internal and external study abroad scholarships, including affiliation scholarships, exchange scholarships, organizational scholarships, and direct-enrollment scholarships. An additional service provided by the scholarship coordinator is conducting a study abroad scholarship search tailored to a student's particular needs. The service has so far proved rewarding for three WIU students. Two students were awarded Freeman-Asia grants to study at Kansai Gaidai University in Japan.
