Description
In 2016, Temple pioneered a nationwide welcome message from U.S. higher education to international students around the world. Through the # YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship, Temple recognizes international students who demonstrate a vision for enhancing intercultural understanding. Temple was one of the first nine universities to make an initial commitment to the #YouAreWelcomeHere initiative.
