Expanding Boundaries International: Ghana Study Abroad Program

Embark on a transformative journey of discovery and growth with Expanding Boundaries International (EBI). Our immersive 10-day study abroad program in Ghana, West Africa, invites you to dive deep into the vibrant culture, rich history, and unique customs of this incredible country.

Founded by Leticia Nortey, a first-generation African student and a Gilman scholarship recipient who experienced the power of international travel firsthand, EBI aims to empower students to become global citizens. We believe that through cross-cultural experiences, we can dispel misconceptions, build community, and foster empathy and mutual understanding.

Unparalleled Cultural Immersion

Our program goes beyond the traditional academic curriculum. You'll immerse yourself in the local culture, learning traditional dances and crafts, tasting delicious traditional foods, and gaining a deep appreciation for Ghana's rich heritage. We also organize field trips to historical sites, offering you a unique perspective on the country's past and its impact on the present.

Hands-On Learning Opportunities

At EBI, we champion experiential learning. We offer hands-on learning opportunities across various fields, allowing you to apply your academic knowledge in real-world contexts. You'll collaborate with local students and engage with professionals, gaining valuable skills and insights that will give you an edge in your future career.

Scholarship Opportunities

We believe that financial constraints should never hinder a student's ability to explore the world. That's why we offer the Brenda A. Brown Passport Scholarship, providing funds for students to apply for their first U.S. passport. We also have other scholarships available to support students in their study abroad journey.
