About UCF Abroad
UCF Abroad provides all students with opportunities to enrich their on-campus academic experience and become more globally competent and competitive graduates through high-impact, credit-bearing study, intern, and research abroad opportunities.

The Future of UCF Abroad
UCF Abroad strives to expand accessibility and participation in international mobility experiences with the aim of supporting the development of UCF graduates ready to compete and succeed in a global workforce. Global competency and the ability to personally and professionally understand and engage across cultures are critical skillsets for all students and many UCF students need financial assistance to make studying abroad an accessible opportunity.

The International Student Excellence Fund is the heartbeat of our mission, fostering our international community across UCF Global’s services.

A significant number of Global’s students arrive at UCF with limited financial resources, driven by the dream of creating a better life for themselves and their families. These students showcase exceptional dedication and courage, embodying the spirit of resilience. UCF Day of Giving is the perfect opportunity to make a difference. By contributing to the International Student Excellence Fund, you become an integral part of their success. We can bridge the gap and ensure that financial constraints don’t hinder their pursuit of education and personal growth.

UCF Global is committed to living out the University’s goals as a community partner. The Community English Program (CEP) is for Central Florida residents whose first language is not English. Courses are designed to help build conversational English skills necessary for working and living in the United States. Participants in the CEP develop skills in listening, reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Classes are offered in person at community-based organizations, as well as online.

Our goal is that, together with cross sector partners in the region, we can engage the Central Florida community in educational opportunities that foster economic mobility and overall prosperity.
