This means that in each academic year, AIFS Abroad contributes a specific amount of funds to support both scholarship applicants on AIFS Abroad programs, and the daily operations of the organization itself. Together we support AIFS Abroad study, internship, and customized faculty-led program participants. We work together on marketing, outreach, and support for applicants and scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-49\" class=\"acf-block block-content-image no-animations block-content-image--left block-content-image--center block-content-image--collage acf-block--has-bg block-content-image--single-image bg-white\">\t<div class=\"container block-content-image__container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row block-content-image__row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 block-content-image__image-col col-lg-6 col-xl-7\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"block-content-image__image-wrapper animate-in image-wrapper\" style=\"background-color: var(--accent-blue);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"684\" height=\"684\" data-public-id=\"wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_684,h_684,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA\" class=\"block-content-image__image wp-image-268230\" alt=\"AIFS Abroad site visit with advisors.\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto:eco\" data-version=\"1715196700\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 684w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_520,h_520,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 520w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_416,h_416,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 416w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_480,h_480,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 480w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_200,h_200,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 200w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_100,h_100,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 100w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_570,h_570,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 570w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_640,h_640,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 640w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_525,h_525,c_fill\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 525w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_290,h_290,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 290w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_312,h_312,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 312w, https:\/\/assets.aifsabroad.com\/images\/w_226,h_226,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto:eco\/v1715196700\/wordpress_uploads\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors\/aifs-abroad-site-visit-advisors.jpg?_i=AA 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 block-content-image__content-col animate-in col-lg-6 col-xl-5 col-xxl-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-supporting-your-professional-development\">Supporting your professional development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-48\" class=\"block-tabs block-tabs--buttons block-tabs--default\">\n\t<div class=\"block-tabs__button-row\"><\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<div class=\"block-tabs__button-wrapper\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-tabs__button\" data-target=\"page-block-46\">\n\t\t\t\t\tVisits\t\t\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-46\" class=\"block-tabs__tab-content\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"print-only\">\n\t\t\tVisits\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n<p><strong>Program Site Visits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broaden your staff and faculty members\u2019 knowledge of AIFS Abroad program locations and staff through visits to our program sites.
