Help support National Student Exchange at WOU!

While NSE is a low-cost opportunity for students to travel, there are still additional fees that may come up for students that they would otherwise not have at WOU. This includes the application cost and travel/airfare. We are hoping to raise $5,000 for the NSE program to provide scholarships for students in order to keep this program as accessible and equitable as possible!

Please consider making a donation to open up more opportunities for our amazing students here at WOU during our Giving Day 2024 TODAY! Click here to donate: https://givingday.wou.edu/campaigns/national-student-exchange

NSE Story: Liam Birr

“I think the real value behind exchange programs is that you’re not only getting academic experience … but you’re also getting real world experience. You’re meeting new people. You’re in a new place. Maybe away from family for the first time, and it really just gives you an opportunity for personal growth.”
