The LTM Star Awards are an elegant awards ceremony for educational institutions offering students the opportunity to work or study overseas. Companies worldwide nominate one North American organization who represents all that is positive about study abroad schemes.

Amerispan Study Abroad has been voted Star Agency in North America four years consecutively.

Amerispan – “the bridge between cultures” was first established in 1993 by two friends who wanted to spread the word about affordable language institutes in Latin America. Amerispan began as a business plan dreamt up on a beach in a small town North of Rio and is now a successful business that offers courses in over 15 different languages in more than 45 countries!

This recognition pushes Amerispan towards our goal of bringing intercultural experiences to everyone.   

We want to thank all of those that support everyday Amerispan as well as those who have helped to make our dreams a reality: bringing cultures closer. Also, we must mention all the partners and schools involved in our project. Thank you very much.

Here is Go Give an Opportunity!'s mission statement:

Our main goal is to promote local education among students of high academic performance and low economical resources. We want to be able to provide those children who show good standing, the possibility to access the proper education eliminating any of the common obstacles brought by the lack of money and food in the families. At the same time we want to further educate these children with the proper values, customs, responsibilities and teach them to have their own personal goal in life. We want to provide children with all the tools needed to be successful and come out of poverty.

Connie Marianacci, head of the program, is a former AmeriSpan employee and John Slocum, Co-founder of AmeriSpan, is the Secretary of the organization.
