This chapter presents multiple ways of understanding who does and does not study abroad. The authors introduce the concept of persistence profiles as a way of understanding which students may struggle to find a way to study abroad. Positive outcomes were found for students from all persistence profiles in terms of the impact of study abroad on academic success and in developing mentoring relationships with faculty. The chapter also profiles both scholarship and small grant programs that can be instituted at relatively low cost to an institution and that can help students become Ready for the World. The authors suggest future directions for testing relationships between persistence profiles, learning outcomes, scholarship support, and small grant programs. |
