If you have never considered participating in such an exotic and exciting program, we strongly recommend it, and we have hundreds of previous happy former students who would, too! There are so many of our to choose from – there's something for everyone!
We continue to be flabbergasted that few participants apply for a scholarship on our programs. We have scholarships for just about any current Undergraduate or Graduate student ranging from $150-$750. But if you can’t find one and are a college student, you can talk to a faculty member at your college and ask them to email us requesting their share of the $100,000 in AmeriSpan Collegiate Scholarship Fund and we will send them scholarships totalling $1,000 (one for $500 and two for $250) which can be used for all College Study Abroad programs and any AmeriSpan programs minimum 4-8 weeks. There are no contracts to sign, no obligations by the college, because AmeriSpan has earmarked these funds to help college students study abroad. We want you to use these funds.
The violence in Moscow that shook the country and made global news yesterday was scary and a noted highly rare event. Thankfully, our Moscow language school staff has reported that everyone there is fine and that the school’s neighborhood is all the way across the city from where the violence took place.
AmeriSpan offers two College Study Abroad locations in Barcelona, Spain. You may choose College Study Abroad in Barcelona (BIC) or College Study Abroad in Barcelona (UAB). Both locations offer summer, semester, or year-long programs for college students. Taking time to study abroad during college is a wonderful decision: You learn a new language or improve upon existing language skills, gain international experience that looks great on your resume (hint: see our blog Study Abroad Adds Substance to Resume), make new friends and international contacts, and often save money in the process.
During all the hubbub about healthcare this week, we here at
AmeriSpan thought we’d highlight one of our best SALUD
Medical Spanish Programs in Alajuela, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica has a highly organized Social Security system known
as the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS). CCSS is one of the most
developed healthcare systems in Latin America. In fact, it could probably hold
its own against the systems in more developed countries. Established in 1943,
CCSS may be so advanced because Costa Rica does not have a military to fund and
so can devote money to more social projects.
Here is your chance to join an already existing group of teachers and students from Edgewood College to Morelia, Mexico on their annual MAESTRO Spanish Program for Teachers.
In its fourth year, this program has shown great success and now the program director has offered to share this experience with teachers outside the Edgewood community. During this 3-week program, participants will visit a variety of local Mexican schools to see how classrooms are run and lessons are taught. The schools cover a wide scope of economic backgrounds and resources. You will also take daily Spanish classes and join in activities such as salsa classes and an Intercambio exchange with local Mexican students who are studying English. Participants will also visit an orphanage and participate in excursions to Guanajuato and Patzucaro. The program runs June 19 – July 11, 2010.

AmeriSpan is pleased to announce our new Budget Crisis Scholarship. Due to the budget crisis, cities and states are reducing their support for state and community colleges. Applicants can receive a $250 scholarship when enrolling in an AmeriSpan College Study Abroad program, if you are currently enrolled at a state or community college. You may apply 4 weeks prior to your program start date, or when you apply for the CSA program. They are not available after you have applied and are accepted into a program.
