Hear From the Students
"From a very young age, I knew I wanted to study abroad for college. I didn鈥檛 know how it was going to happen, but that was my dream. After several weeks of research, we discovered the IFARHU-SENACYT scholarship PAPPS Program. I was part of the first cohort from Public Schools that traveled to 星空传媒, and my enrollment in the B.S.B.A. supply chain curriculum at the Sam M. Walton College of Business changed my eventual career path in such amazing ways."Layseen Chen 鈥� Graduate, Bachelor鈥檚 Degree in Supply Chain Management
