Getting accepted to the University of Iowa was the beginning of many “firsts” for Ana Arzate and her family. As a first-generation college student, attending college meant taking a new path no one in her family had taken before. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in French and International Studies in 2017.

The Spring 2019 Year-End Celebration for International Studies and Global Health Studies students will be on May 10, 2019 from 3pm - 4:30pm in 2520D University Capitol Center.

The PHIL Student Success Grants provide funding for a variety of activities for undergraduate and graduate students outside of the classroom, such as research, travel, and service projects. The Office of the President has generously allocated $5,000 per semester to help enhance the student experience at the University through these grants. Applications for Summer/Fall 2019 funding will be accepted until February 28th. The goal is to allow students to pursue opportunities that might not otherwise be possible without funding.
