Student Comments

"There is no greater challenge than jumping into a movement as it is happening. On this program we don't just observe what feminists are doing around the world, we do it with them."
- Cara Moore, Antioch College

"Absolutely life changing event."
- Laura Michelson, Hobart and William Smith Colleges

“It was so incredible to have the opportunity to travel from one country to the next, experiencing new cultures and movements and environments while reading enlightening pieces of theory and having academic discourses on them.”
- Greer Paris, Antioch College, 2008 Participant

“The program is one of the best I’ve experienced. I’ve never felt more engaged with my surroundings, the literature, my professor and fellow students, and my education in general.”
- James Kutil, Antioch College

“This program has been really eye-opening for me both in terms of academics and cultural experiences.”
- Caroline Georges, Hampshire College

“One of the best/most accessible feminist theory courses I’ve taken.”
- Max, Antioch College

"I learned more in this semester than I have in all my college career. I grew inside and out. I began to learn about myself and respect myself. It was educational, intense, personal, wonderful!"
- Jill Rhode, University of Illinois

"There is no way a person can come away from a program like this without wanting to change the world and make it a better place."
- Greta Elanbass, Albion College

"I liked that we met with women in government, grassroots organizations, academia and professional organizations. To see the work in which they are involved was a great privilege and very inspiring. Perhaps most importantly, I saw women easily blend theory and practice, ideas and action."
- Karen Owens, Antioch College

“I met inspiring activists and thinkers and got to interact with them in a way that fostered a lot of growth for me as a student and activist.”
- Megan Freshley, Antioch College

“These women were raising their voices, being assertive against racist or sexist policies, as well as standing up for their rights in their personal lives. The . . . program allowed me to affirm my feminist perspectives.”
- Sarah Sayeed, Princeton University

Financial Aid, Scholarships, and Grants

Making inquiries and arrangements for financial aid is the responsibility of the student. Many students have been able to apply financial aid from their home institution to the Comparative Women's and Gender Studies Program.

Early contact with the home institution's financial aid and study abroad offices is strongly advised.
According to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (102-325), federal financial aid is transferable and applicable to study abroad.
Individual payment plans through Antioch Education Abroad may be arranged.

AEA has compiled a list of resources for outside grants and scholarships that may be applicable to this study abroad program. We strongly recommend that students begin the scholarship and grant application process as early as possible, as these deadlines may differ considerably from AEA deadlines.
