BRING STUDY ABROAD TO YOUR INSTITUTION
Study Abroad Association is a collaborative effort between colleges and universities across the United States dedicated to increasing study abroad participation among students and faculty on their campuses.
Free Membership
Become an SAA Member to bring study abroad opportunities to your institution, utilizing our free and complimentary benefits. We help SAA members create life-changing educational programs for students. All institutions are welcome to utilize our benefits and services. We are currently assisting over 105 institutions across the US and are ready to expand our outreach to more colleges and universities. We’ve seen outstanding results with schools who adopt these techniques and systems, and in some cases have helped increase participation by 100%.
2020 Initiative
SAA has recently launched the 2020 Community College Study Abroad Initiative, which will sustainably increase study abroad participation at community and technical colleges 25% by 2020.
To do this, SAA will partner with participating institutions and assist them in developing custom strategies to meet attainable study abroad goals. These goals can be achieved through the utilization of the benefits and services being offered for free as part of this initiative and SAA membership, which are listed below.

Our programs are fully customizable to suit your students’ specific academic needs and goals. We work directly with you to create the perfect itinerary, choosing the best activities, venues, and excursions for your chosen destination and area of study.
