Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Louisiana Students Abroad ## Louisiana's unique cultural heritage and growing global economy make studying abroad a crucial component of its students' educational experience. The Banking Institution's Awards to U.S. Undergraduate and Graduate Students grant supports this goal by providing funding for intensive language and culture study abroad. For Louisiana students, the priority outcomes of this grant are centered around enhancing their global competitiveness and addressing the state's specific economic needs. The Louisiana Workforce Commission and the Louisiana State University (LSU) System are key stakeholders in promoting study abroad programs that align with these goals. ## Enhancing Language Skills and Cultural Competence ## One of the primary outcomes of this grant is to improve Louisiana students' language skills and cultural competence. Louisiana's diverse cultural landscape, shaped by its French, Spanish, African, and Native American heritage, makes language and cultural understanding particularly valuable. Students who study abroad in countries with languages relevant to Louisiana's economic ties, such as French-speaking Canada or Spain, can gain a competitive edge in the job market. Louisiana's coastal economy, with its significant oil and gas industry, also benefits from professionals who can navigate international markets and cultures. The grant's focus on intensive language and culture study abroad aligns with the state's efforts to develop a globally competent workforce. The Louisiana Economic Development agency has identified international trade and investment as a key driver of the state's economic growth, with exports accounting for a significant portion of the state's GDP. ## Addressing State-Specific Economic Needs ## The grant's priority outcomes also address Louisiana's specific economic needs, particularly in the areas of international trade, tourism, and cultural preservation. By studying abroad, Louisiana students can gain insights into global best practices and innovative solutions that can be applied to the state's economic development challenges. For instance, students who study sustainable tourism practices in Europe or Latin America can bring back knowledge that can be applied to Louisiana's growing tourism industry, which is a significant contributor to the state's economy. The state's historic preservation efforts, such as those led by the Louisiana Division of Historic Preservation, can also benefit from students who gain experience in cultural heritage preservation abroad. Q: What are the most competitive language and culture study programs for Louisiana students? A: Programs that focus on languages such as French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and that take place in countries with strong economic ties to Louisiana, are highly competitive. Q: How can Louisiana students apply the knowledge and skills gained through this grant to their future careers? A: Students can apply their language skills and cultural competence to careers in international trade, tourism, and cultural preservation, among other fields, and can also bring back innovative solutions to address the state's economic development challenges. Q: Are there any additional resources available to Louisiana students who receive this grant? A: Yes, the LSU System's Office of International Services and the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance provide additional resources and support for students who study abroad, including guidance on grant applications and post-study career opportunities.
