Study abroad has long been perceived as something only privileged students are able to do. The 19th century idea of the "Grand Tour" for young elites as they came of age is the predecessor of this problem. Fortunately, many institutions are attempting to broaden access by packaging study abroad in ways that are more affordable for all students. The Gilman Scholars program has helped and the institutions that had the largest number of students receive these awards is a good place to look for examples of breaking the economic/cultural barrier in student abroad.
