Abstract | Poor youths from tradition-minded Hispanic families like Jaime Alvarez never thought study abroad was for them. Such perceptions can be difficult to change. The perception of study abroad as reserved for rich white students is difficult to challenge. In this article, the author describes how study abroad has become a possibility for minority students from poor families as colleges reach out to them. As these colleges work to expand study abroad in general, they are seeking new ways to include underrepresented students, by providing scholarships, meeting with campus minority groups, and developing information materials that deal with the tricky issue of race in study abroad.
