A nonprofit initiative expanding access to international education,
one student and one opportunity at a time.

International education can change a student's life. Too many never get the chance.

Our mission is to broaden who gets to go—and help make the experience matter.

Our mission

Access isn’t an add-on. It’s the mission.

We believe international education should be accessible to more people—not just those who can afford it. We work with institutions and mission-aligned partners to create pathways that are academically grounded, locally connected and designed with access in mind.

Programs begin with faculty goals, curriculum and the questions students are exploring.

The founder story

An idea that started with one experience.

Studying in the United States changed the way I saw the world. It exposed me to different perspectives, cultures and possibilities—and influenced the direction of my life and career. I kept thinking about how many students might benefit from that kind of experience if access were easier.

The idea for Abroad for All began in 2008. It was registered as a nonprofit in 2016, and the website and concept were developed in 2017. After the disruption of COVID, I’m returning to the mission with a clearer focus: connect universities with partners in France and help widen access to international learning.

“The mission remains the same: give more students the opportunity to discover the world—and discover what they’re capable of in the process.”

2008The idea begins.

2016Nonprofit registration.

2017Website and concept development; NAFSA engagement.

2020Project paused during COVID disruption.

2026A new chapter begins.
