AmeriSpan has won for the 3rd year in a row: see the press release here
-- September 7, 2010:
For the 2nd year in a row, AmeriSpan Study Abroad has been voted BEST AGENCY in NORTH AMERICA, winning the prestigious 2010 Star Award managed by Language Travel Magazine. Language schools throughout the world cast votes and each school may only vote for one North American organization. Schools generally vote for agencies who epitomize all the good aspects about study abroad organizations.
One thing that we hear all the time from schools is that AmeriSpan students have realistic expectations upon arriving to the school unlike other organizations. We think that is because our study abroad consultants have studied, lived and/or worked abroad. In addition, we send our staff to schools on familiarization trips so they can have first hand experience with the programs. In addition, we clearly state "What We Like" and "What We Don't Like" about all of our partner schools.
Accepting the award in London, England was Alexa Boyce, AmeriSpan's Director of Volunteer/Internship programs & Senior Study Abroad Consultant. Ms. Boyce said "I want to thank all of our partner organizations and schools for providing the highest quality of service and programs to our clients. As you know, AmeriSpan's passion for study abroad is only matched by your own. Year after year, whether we win awards or not, our participants continue to be the beneficiaries of our collaboration."
AmeriSpan Study Abroad also received the Star Award in 2009 and was finalist in 2008 but did not win the award.
