IFSA Named a Top Study Abroad Provider for Outstanding Student Safety

IFSA | April 3, 2026

Yes, we’re all about helping students grow, progress, and discover. But student safety always comes first, evidenced by our:   

• Investment in AlertMedia, a premier technology that provides real-time intelligence and provides instant connections with students.  

• Best-in-field mental health support. Our Health, Safety & Wellbeing team helped create The Forum’s mental health guidelines for study abroad and lead workshops on mental health abroad for staff at U.S. colleges and universities. 

• Commitment to awareness. Students get information on safety protocols from before they depart until they return home, in a planned cadence that helps reinforce messages.  

We do all this and more because we care about the health and wellbeing of every IFSA student. But it’s nice to be recognized for our commitment to safety with a silver Go Overseas 2025 Community Choice Award for 2025.
