SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people all around the world. Addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities. We recognize that to successfully address threats to our natural world, we must look beyond social constructs designed to divide us. Just as we value biodiversity in all of its forms, we value and engage with a multitude of diverse perspectives and people in the countries where we work and the students and staff we serve.
SFS strives to cultivate inclusive communities and encourage student cohorts that represent human diversity across the globe. Our programs aim to support every student, including those marginalized or underrepresented as a result of their racial or ethnic identity, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, first-generation college students, and students from all underrepresented groups or underserved communities. We continue to develop strategies to support all students from the time they apply, during their program, and beyond. SFS recognizes that when all students’ voices are valued and heard, confidence in academic ability thrives to the benefit of entire communities.

During program orientation, SFS staff provide students with information on the local community and culture, including local attitudes toward different beliefs, values, and lifestyles. Students should recognize that, while on-program, they may be challenged by vastly different beliefs and boundaries than they are used to in their home communities.
We encourage students to contact SFS with country-specific questions or if they’d like to discuss their identity abroad. Students may reach out to SFS Admissions or SFS Safety & Student Life for advising.

Climate change has a disproportionate impact on low-income communities, communities of color, and other vulnerable populations in the U.S. and around the world. In order to address some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, SFS seeks to train and amplify the voices of students who represent those communities.
In order to be considered for the SFS Diversity Scholarship, please attach a personal statement to your SFS Financial Aid Application explaining how your identity (or identities) shape(s) who you are and your perspective as an environmental steward.
Students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad are encouraged to apply for the SFS Diversity Scholarship. Eligibility includes but is not limited to those who identify as a racial or ethnic minority, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and students from all underrepresented groups or underserved communities.
