But even so, there are expenses over and above what they would have if they stayed on campus. Help is available. The Plattsburgh College Foundation, through the Giltz Family International Award Endowment, helps eligible Plattsburgh State students meet some of those financial obligations so they can participate in a study-abroad program. Named for the late E. Glenn Giltz, president of the College Foundation from 1976-85, and his late wife, Leah, the endowment has enabled students who wouldn't ordinarily have considered a foreign experience the chance to thrive and grow in a way very few programs afford. It helped pay toward my plane fare, books and personal spending money.
Every little bit helps.
These programs change lives. And it's our hope that others will support study-abroad programs either through gifts to this endowment or through gifts to be used to meet current student need.
