Study Abroad

The overarching mission of the LMU Study Abroad office is to transform our student participants by providing meaningful, culturally immersive, and academically sound experiences abroad. The goal of this transformation is to take place in the following ways:

Evolving the self: develop skills of intercultural competency, self-reliance, and independence in our students through reflective, culturally immersive and intellectually rigorous programming overseas.

Engaging with the world: translate these skills into an understanding and constructive world-view that is employed by our students in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world.

Enhancing the community: contribute to the international dialogue of any present or future community of which our students are members by infusing new academic, social, and cultural perspectives gained on study abroad.

National & International Fellowships (ONIF)

The Office of National & International Fellowships (ONIF) assists LMU students and alumni interested in pursuing external awards that support their academic and career goals. Many fellowships require candidates to apply through their university or alma mater, which in turn sponsors the candidate. ONIF facilitates this sponsorship.

Through ONIF, students can learn about fellowship opportunities available through governments, private donors, foundations, civic organizations, and corporations. ONIF also offers strategic planning and advice for submitting a competitive application package.
