Study Abroad
The John T. Petters Foundation seeks deserving students who are interested in international business and looking to expand their knowledge of other countries and cultures. Study abroad programs provide students with that knowledge and other benefits including:
- An enhanced interest in an academic field of study
- Motivation to continue successive and enriching educational experiences
- A reinforced commitment to studying a foreign language
- A better understanding of his or her own culture
- Enthusiasm to increase diversity within his or her circle of friends
- The desire to continue interactions with people from different cultures
- Acquiring career skills that enhance employability in the future
Today, more and more students are realizing the importance of looking outside the United States to gain a first-hand perspective on the true global nature of business. We want to not only help students achieve their entrepreneurship goals, but also help them realize that they can reach even higher.
We work to carry out John’s dream of helping those who desire to study abroad. Through his dream we are helping today's students become future business leaders and entrepreneurs tomorrow.
