Impact Stories

Sarah Shewaye
“I am very grateful to take part in the PathwayOregon sponsored study abroad program. Before my flight to London, I had never gotten on a plane alone in my life. While I have traveled around the US and Mexico with my family, I have never even driven more than two hours away by myself. Many other PathwayOregon scholars were in the same boat of lacking travel experience which meant that the program extensively prepared us before we left.”

“As an international student and Computer Science major at the University of Oregon, scholarships are what made it possible for me to pursue an education in the US and bridged the financial gap needed to explore a career path that would otherwise have been out of reach.

Beyond financial support, the scholarship program has helped me grow my soft skills like leadership and communication through the cultural presentations I share to my community.

Being part of the International Cultural Service Program scholarship is what ultimately opened the door for me to study Computer Science at the University of Oregon and work towards my future career in technology. Through programs like the work-study program, I've gained work experience in my field of study while still balancing my school life, and through cultural presentations, I've built confidence in sharing my identity as an international student. The support I've received is not only funding my education but also helping me grow both professionally and personally.”

“Studying abroad in London was the first time I had ever left the country. I had always wanted to visit, as my grandmother lived in London and instilled a love for England in my mom, who had never been able to visit. She in turn passed the desire to visit to me, but it was never a possibility due to financial constraints. Through this program I was able to fulfill a generational dream and connect with the memory of my grandmother.”
