Afford Your Travel is proud to collaborate with the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA), which expands access to study abroad opportunities for underrepresented college students. FEA administers scholarships available for minority, community college, first-generation, and LGBTQI college students before, during, and after they participate in education abroad programs.

Afford Your Travel is glad to direct students meeting the above criteria to the scholarships available through FEA (ranging from $1,250 – $10,000) for longer-term opportunities abroad. Afford Your Travel also welcomes the opportunity to provide selected recipients with low-cost travel planning services (including #FirstTimeAbroad planning). Non-selected candidates still seeking the formative experience of short-term travel abroad are also welcome to submit requests.

Especially for clients traveling from abroad and staying in the US, Afford Your Travel recommends English from A to Z as an excellent resource for learning English online. English from A to Z has the central goal of providing online English as a Second Language education to students in the United States and around the world. Instead of just focusing on one area such as private lessons, English from A to Z is a one-stop shop for all things English including group classes, online courses, YouTube videos, and an active blog that is updated on a biweekly basis. They believe that English is a global language and is key to not just global business but to politics, the Internet, and having different cultures interact each and every single day.

They connect qualified ESL teachers to students through their website and also help their teachers invest more in the online teaching space due to the variety of options that they can focus on when teaching with my business. Out of the three different products and services that their business offers, the core product is their interactive online courses which are used by their teachers through a highly customizable learning management system called YourAgora. There are numerous benefits to students to use these 10-week or 12-week online courses to improve in a number of subjects from Business English to English Writing and from English Grammar to English Reading.
