Emily Haley Makes Study Abroad a Reality through UNH and National Scholarships

“As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, study abroad never seemed like something I realistically could take

advantage of. Choosing a major that required a study abroad component gave me the push I needed to go abroad. With the help of the O ice of National Fellowships and Center for

International Education and Global

Engagement at UNH, I applied for and received UNH’s Foley-Jackson Scholarship

(/global/foley-jackson-scholarship-international-studies) and the national Gilman Scholarship (http://www.unh.edu/fellowships-o ice/benjamin-gilman-internati(http://www.unh.edu/fellowships-onal-sch(http://www.unh.edu/fellowships-olarship), and was able t(http://www.unh.edu/fellowships-o make my experience an a ordable one.

I have been dreaming of studying in Japan since high school, and am grateful to be able to make this dream a reality. While studying at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, I hope to further my Japanese skills and take classes on East Asia that are not o ered at UNH. I am excited to experience many aspects of Japanese culture, such as the cherry blossom season and Golden Week in early May. Living as an international student will also help me with my sociology thesis, where I am planning to examine the integration of international and domestic students at UNH.

I hope that my experiences can help those who think study abroad isn’t a ordable for them realize that there are many resources at UNH aimed at helping students achieve a global education. “
