GW England - London School of Economics
"I studied abroad at the London School of Economics for the full academic year. I spent the year prior working at the Career Center and at STEM works, which were both FWS positions. Going abroad for an entire year was going to be financially challenging, but receiving the Supplemental Scholarship from GW really helped me finance my time abroad. Being in a new country for an entire year was truly an amazing experience and I grew as a person because of it every day. I also had the opportunity to take some challenging coursework that has really deepened my knowledge of economics and international affairs."
