Customized Study Abroad Programs

From experience, we know building study tours and customized program takes at least nine months from initial conversations to students arriving. It's important to be clear from the beginning everyone involved needs at least that amount of time to develop and administer the program. We are more than happy to work on requests for further down the road, too.

This is a team effort, so all stakeholders, officials, and decision-makers involved with the program, from academics to sponsorship, should have a part in the planning process. 

SAF reviews your program suggestion form to determine whether we have enough details to move forward—we'll be in touch with questions if we have any. If everything is in order, an SAF Program Development Manager will contact you.

Accommodation is different for every university and every program. In the past, SAF Scholars have stayed in short-term student apartments, hotels, dormitories or halls of residence, and even homestays with a local family. Each program details the accommodation type or, if applicable, the options available.
