  • Subscribe to the BOSP mailing list to learn about upcoming outreach and promotional events.
  • Review the Health and Safety page.
  • Consider additional costs associated with each program (the cost of airfare, in particular, will vary from one program to another).

  • Contact studyaway@stanford.edu or schedule a meeting if you have additional questions.
