Global Education

Kimball Union cultivates future leaders, problem solvers and active citizens of the global community. Through two signature programs students are able to take advantage of exciting opportunities to work and travel the world as they expand their horizons. Students interested in deepening their experience in the global studies can also apply for the Global Scholar Program.

Cullman Scholarship Program

The Cullman Scholarship Program supports students in off-campus study opportunities for an individual summer/school year experience as they travel the world exploring unique opportunities to develop leadership skills, global and environmental awareness, and service to others. The program was established in 1983 with a gift form Hugh Cullman ’42.
