Study Abroad Provider Fair and Website Presence

Virginia Tech’s Global Education Office (GEO) is seeking qualified study‑abroad providers to participate in its annual Study Abroad Provider Fair and to maintain a presence on the GEO website. The solicitation is an RFQ that screens vendors on their ability to offer credit‑bearing programs across multiple disciplines (including STEM), demonstrate affordability, provide student scholarships, ensure safe housing, and furnish 24/7 risk‑management support. Qualified providers will present at the fair (e.g., classroom sessions, webinars) and have their programs listed on the GEO web portal for Virginia Tech students. • Mandatory qualifications: Offer credit‑bearing courses in at least eight academic disciplines, with STEM inclusion. • Evaluation criteria focus on affordability, financial aid, housing safety, risk‑management, intercultural learning, and SWaM participation. • No budget is disclosed; vendors must submit a detailed cost breakdown as part of the qualification response.
