"My junior year abroad in Mexico City was the pivotal point in my life. It was during that time when I experienced greatest personal growth, and it affected my ultimate career choice: that of a university Spanish professor. Before going to Mexico, I felt very awkward in the language. My year abroad changed all that."

Mary Docter, UCLA
National Autonomous University of Mexico, 1979-80

The Education Abroad Program has improved and expanded over the last 40 years in large part due to the support and enthusiasm of EAP alumni, their family and friends, UCLA faculty and staff, and donors. Explore to see what EAP offers you and what you can bring back to EAP.

All friends of EAP are invited to get involved in a variety of ways. For example, the increased interest by UCLA students in study abroad means a greater need for scholarship funds to make their international experiences possible. Through the generosity of individuals and private foundations, such as the Jeff Astor Foundation, we are able to provide study abroad scholarships for UCLA's EAP students.

We are currently developing giving programs for friends of EAP interested in helping more UCLA students experience the world through EAP. We are also recruiting alumni interested to assist in our efforts to offer expanded alumni activities and serve as a resource for students interested in learning about their time abroad.
