ALLOW STUDENTS FEDERAL AID TO STUDY ABROAD AT POINT PARK UNIVERSITY Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/allow-students-federal-aid-to-study-abroad-at-point-park-university.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 9 Apr 2026 03:05 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Juliana Jurenas [Signature #48] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/12339556?utm_medium=rss I am in this predicament now and Point Park refuses to help. They can't call themselves an study abroad friendly institution when they hardly lend a hand to their loyal student body. Point Park is hurting my education rather than expanding when it comes to this issue.

This experience completely changed my life and allowed me to make decisions about my future I never would have otherwise deemed possible.

I was very disappointed and would like to see the policy changed in the near future so that other students can have the experience I couldn't.

Several Point Park students can no longer afford to study in foreign countries because financial aid no longer applies

]]> Wed, 9 Nov 2011 06:57:57 UTC 11487641 Christie Schroeder [Signature #40] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11486687?utm_medium=rss I graduated from Point Park in 2010 after receiving a full academic/athletic scholarship. There is no reason students should lose money for school if they study abroad with another institution. Either change the policy or provide more options so students don't have to go elsewhere. Do it for the students. The students should be the No. 1 priority.

Why would Point Park "punish" students for trying to take advantage of the study abroad services offered here and student's efforts to see the world and other cultures.

As a student who has experienced this first hand, I believe Point Park should reevaluate and change their policies so students with the ambition to study abroad can financially do so.

Having a direct understanding of different cultures leads to richer educational experience and empathetic thinking regarding other ways of living.
Point Park University needs to provide assistance to those students interested in learning outside of our Country.

Especially for those who wouldn't even be able to attend school at home without it. Why would you punish a student for taking advantage of a program you offer.

University today is not about learning, it's about earning...for those at the top. Nothing more.

Studying abroad is the most learning a student can ever experience: You are actually there, not looking at a picture in a text book. Why is this even a question?

Please pay this the attention it is due.

I however wanted to study in country not offered through Point Park. Since I desired to go to increase my skills in Spanish and experience language immersion, I had to study through an outside institution. Aid from Point Park would have been extremely helpful and I hope that students in the future can benefit from it.

]]> Tue, 8 Nov 2011 08:33:51 UTC 11482296 Anonymous [Signature #4] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11482287?utm_medium=rss Point Park is a well known college and has a great reputation. For it to not support students that wish to study abroad is ridiculous. Especially when other fine colleges support it!
This matter needs to be addressed and the university should take it into consideration to support the students that keep the university alive and allow for it to grow throughout the years!

There is no reason students should not be able to transfer credits earned while studying abroad towards their degree.
