Did you know? Three out of five of our executive team members are Greek, and so are many of our team members who work directly with your students. We take pride in the fact that what we strive for as a company also echoes the values of Greek Life.
SCHOLARSHIP
Our programs are designed to help members succeed. Socially and academically.
LEADERSHIP
Your members will return better leaders to impact your chapters and their campuses immediately.
SERVICE
The CIS Abroad Greek Life Scholarship is intended for students in a Greek organization who need help covering the cost of membership dues while abroad. In keeping with the philanthropic values of Greek Life organizations, recipients should plan to participate in at least one self-directed volunteer opportunity while abroad and produce content related to that experience.
BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD
We bring your members together across chapters and organizations for the shared experience of going abroad.
We are the highest value/lowest cost provider in more than 65% of our semester and summer locations. With more than $320,000 in additional grants and scholarships, you won’t find a better partner.
70% of all CIS Abroad students receive scholarships or grants to study or intern abroad.
We also run several promotions throughout the year for students to take advantage of.
There are many studies that point to the benefits of students receiving part of their undergraduate education abroad. What benefits could be realized in the classroom by tapping into new attitudes and skill sets? And what are the benefits realized to the student and the institution for years to come?
Your members will increase their Intrapersonal skills
Intrapersonal skills are those internal communication skills, the self-talk, that guide our emotion and behavior. They apply to a person’s emotional intelligence. Many of these skills are not taught in school, but are critical to success in work and life.
Your members will Increase competencies that matter to employers & graduate schools
Students who studied abroad find employment more quickly than their peers post graduation, and they’ll also see more long-term impact to their careers.
Your members will Enhance their Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills are those that involve communicating and working with other people. As our world is increasingly complex, the ability to communicate in teams, across time zones, ages, cultures, and language skills are critical.
“My decision to go Greek and study abroad align almost perfectly. I wanted to gain a deeper appreciation for the world and people around me all while bettering myself. Both of these experiences have shaped me into the person I am and strive to be each and every day. I have found a purpose behind everything I do in life and the strength to not let my fears hold me back from new experiences. My life has forever been changed by these experiences and I am eternally thankful.”
Kayla Geistman, Sigma Kappa – Epsilon Zeta chapter, Western Kentucky University, Summer in Scotland – 2017
“I definitely see some parallels between my choices for going greek and studying abroad. For starters, both decisions were made in the hopes of bettering myself and my future. Both experiences have created connections for me, all across the world. Through my sisters who live in different countries and states, other interns and students I have met in Australia, and my co-workers, I now have resources all around the globe. If I want to travel, take a cross country road trip, or even work in another country, I have great friends everywhere that can help me out. I except these connections to last a lifetime and to help me an incredible amount in the future.”
