Making Global Opportunities Accessible for All

Ariventures Abroad connects minority graduate students to transformative international opportunities—from academic programs to internships, cultural immersion, and global leadership. Through our flagship ACM Fellowship, curated workshops, and commitment to ethical travel, we make sure our community doesn’t just go abroad, they belong there.

Our Mission

We exist to make global opportunities accessible for all

We help students of color, first-gen students, and future changemakers pursue their dreams overseas. Our mission is to build a world where graduate school abroad, internships overseas, and long-term cultural immersion are within reach for everyone.
We remove financial, cultural, and structural barriers by combining funding, mentorship, programming, and community. Our mission is rooted in equity, representation, and reshaping who gets to access international spaces.

What We Do

ACM Fellowship
Student Workshops
Sustainability

Ariventures Abroad provides funding opportunities for underrepresented minority students to pursue their graduate studies abroad. Through our programs, like the Ambrose Conrad McAuley (ACM Fellowship), we help remove financial barriers, disrupt stereotypes, and empower aspiring leaders to gain valuable international experience and a global perspective.

Student Workshops

We believe that the right preparation can unlock the full potential of experiences abroad. That’s why we offer comprehensive student workshops designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive during their time abroad.

Travel Sustainably. Engage Respectfully

Our sustainability programming encourages students to be conscious global citizens - environmentally, socially, and culturally. As we continue building out this pillar, we aim to provide practical tools for responsible travel and encourage critical engagement with the places our Fellows and participants call home during their time abroad.
