Your Impact: Stepping Into the Adventure of a Lifetime
|
SYA’s Class of 2023 has been fully immersed in studying and living abroad for nearly two months now. Similar to those that preceded them, this year’s students come from all walks of life, allowing for a robust exchange of ideas and perspectives. This year, nearly half of SYA families received financial aid, with an average grant of $40,700. In addition to the need-based aid provided for our families each year, we are fortunate to award several student scholars thanks to our generous donors. Education is a source of opportunity and through your support of financial aid, you are investing in an SYAer’s future. We are pleased to introduce our ten named scholars who are off to a great start in Rennes, Viterbo and Zaragoza this year! |
News Highlights
FAST FIVE WITH FACULTY:
Soledad Gutiérrez
"Art is a reflection of human aspects that go far beyond the plastic or aesthetic. It tells us a lot about a historical moment or a certain vital state or attitude. It has provided me with tools to better understand the world and to understand myself better as a person. In addition, it has opened the doors to a passion for me and, I think, having a passion in life is a privilege."
