Ariventures Abroad

Ariventures Abroad is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that believes immersive cultural experiences and a commitment to giving back are essential for developing the next generation of leaders. That’s why philanthropy is at the core of our mission. Our key initiatives include scholarships, student workshops, and travel sustainability.

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