The Globe Runner Scholarship Fund offers high-achieving high school students from underserved communities in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico area the opportunity to step outside their local community and develop a global vision by studying abroad.
Globe Runner Scholarship Fund supports high school global education and life-changing international exchanges
Intercultural learning has life-changing benefits for a young person and contributes to the growth of schools and the world. Studies show that students who study abroad:
• achieve higher levels of education and foreign language proficiency
• are better able to communicate with others and to think critically
• have a better understanding of their home country and culture
• are more confident, adaptable and resilient.
“I never thought I would get so close to people in such a short period of time. I still..talk to my host family a lot, specifically my host sister. We text every day, catch each other up. . . . My advice would be to never say ‘no.’ When I was there, I made sure not to reject anything, and I just took everyone’s ideas and said, ‘Yes, let’s do it!’”
—Cesar, Globe Runner Scholar
Studying abroad is a life-changing experience regardless of your background or prior experience. We challenge students to step outside of their comfort zone and be curious about life in a new environment and know that there are always resources to help them along the way.
