In our continuing effort to ensure that international opportunities are accessible for all, Via is working side by side with StudentUniverse to help make study abroad more affordable to students. Travelers with a valid .edu email address and are under 26 years old are eligible to take advantage of travel discounts provided by StudentUniverse.
Admins in Via can opt to auto-send notifications to students at various stages of their enrollment journey. These notifications contain a special link where students can book travel at discounted rates.
Via student data show that the #1 barrier to studying abroad is cost. As it is our mission to empower every student to engage in global opportunities, we are very excited to offer students the opportunity to save money.
If institutions decide to opt in, Travelers will receive a mailer when they create an account, are accepted to a program, are added to a group plan, and create a solo plan.
