Domestic Study
welcome
The Engaged Learning Office offers academic Domestic Study opportunities. The goal of the program is to provide curricular travel experiences focused on global learning within U.S. states and territories.
Through global learning, students should:
- Become informed, open-minded, and responsible people who are attentive to diversity across the spectrum of differences.
- Seek to understand how their actions affect both local and global communities.
- Address the world's most pressing and enduring issues collaboratively and equitably.

The AAC&U also states that: "while study abroad is an important educational experience that can foster the development of these desired learning outcomes and developmental skills, mindsets, and behaviors, so too are domestically based off-campus study programs."
Through domestic-based study, students have the opportunity to address these learning outcomes in an affordable, accessible manner, where the travel is shorter duration.

FAQ
Check out the Domestic Study Home Page for resources and workshops. The Engaged Learning Office is available for 1x1 appointments and workshops available to students working on scholarship applications. We also encourage students to work with the SLCC Student Writing & Reading Center for assistance.
Students are also welcome to do their research for other potential scholarships. Look at eligibility requirements and what you qualify for, depending on your situation. Finally, follow the instructions for each scholarship and apply accordingly. It is essential to pay attention to the details and put your best effort into the application! Most scholarships are competitive, so you will need to put in significant time and effort to receive funding (i.e., free money). Good luck!
If you withdraw before the application deadline, you will receive a full refund. However, if you cancel after the deadline, then the amount we can refund is determined by the Engaged Learning Office. After the application deadline, we begin making reservations on the students’ behalf (flights, hotels, excursions, etc.) and cannot guarantee these items are refundable.
If a trip is cancelled due to extenuating circumstances, we will do whatever we can to ensure students are refunded for the program fees (e.g., all students participating in Study Abroad during the COVID-19 crisis were fully refunded).
