International Students
Tony and JoAn Salloum International Student Program
The international student program provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both students and Donovan families. The international student program is highly beneficial to all students and the Donovan community at large. The international students are able to immerse themselves in the Donovan culture as well as experience the Athens, GA area. Donovan students have the opportunity to host a student for one to two semesters. Host families gain a new member of the family and build a relationship that lasts a lifetime. The program allows all involved to experience something new and exciting.
Host families may be eligible for a stipend. Please contact Krista Elayan, our International Program Coordinator, for more information and the next steps.
