[Philadelphia, PA] - April 12, 2011 - In an increasingly more global world, a lot of students are looking for ways to expand their learning experiences to be able to take in more of the world around them. They are looking to study abroad programs to get this experience, vising countries ranging from Costa Rica to France and beyond. An industry leader in providing students with these types of experiences, AmeriSpan Inc. has stepped forward to help with some common mistakes that students make when looking to have this kind of educational experience. "The three biggest mistake we see are participants paying too much. The same exact semester program in Costa Rica ranges from $6,000 to more than $10,000 depending on how a participant registers for a program. In addition, many forget to utilize financial aid or taking advantage of Study Abroad Scholarships" commented John Slocum, Co-Founder of AmeriSpan. This obvious discrepancy in price not only ends up costing students who are not aware of ways to reduce what they pay for these invaluable experiences, it also ends up excluding many students who believe they do not have the means to afford such experiences as a way to broaden their education.
Students have so few resources for learning about the best and most cost effective means by which to experience these types of programs that they often end up not realizing that there are a number of scholarships just for students who want to study abroad. It is also possible to use federal financial aid to help fund participation in programs such as the one offered in AmeriSpan Study Abroad. This opens the doors ad levels the playing field for a large number of students who would otherwise mistakenly assume that studying in other countries is something for others who have a lot of money or some sort of insider tip. There are many other mistakes that are made and AmeriSpan has made it their goal to help clear things up for students so that more people will be able to attend these types of educational experiences which can be strongly beneficial towards their career goals as well as their personal goals for their own lives.
