Experience Real Growth with EF’s Study Abroad Monitor Program
In an exciting move to make study abroad more accessible, EF Education First Japan is launching a unique 'Study Abroad Monitor Program' beginning December 1, 2025. With a limit of 150 spots, this program invites individuals to share their real study abroad experiences through social media, regardless of their follower count.
This initiative responds to a growing demand for genuine stories and relatable experiences, as potential study abroad candidates seek insights that extend beyond traditional advertising. Today’s aspiring adventurers are increasingly relying on authentic narratives to better understand the challenges and triumphs associated with studying abroad.
The Rise of Authentic Experiences
According to recent surveys, people are gravitating towards personal stories from ordinary individuals rather than polished influencer content. The shift highlights a significant change in how influence is measured in today’s social media landscape, moving from mere follower counts to genuine engagement. EF’s research indicates that accounts with a few hundred followers can generate engagement comparable to those with tens of thousands, emphasizing the value of relatable connections.
Moreover, for those who were previously hesitant to pursue study abroad due to financial constraints, the ability to share their journey through the monitoring program creates an opportunity that feels achievable and valuable. By sharing their stories, participants contribute to a cycle of inspiration, encouraging others to embark on their own adventures.
Eligibility and Accessibility
This program welcomes individuals of all ages and backgrounds—whether students, professionals, or retirees—who enjoy documenting their experiences on social media or blogs. Each participant will document their journey and share it through photos and videos, all while receiving financial support for their study abroad experience. The application opens to anyone over 16, with no language proficiency required, making it easier than ever to start this transformative journey.
Whether you yearn to explore new environments or seek personal growth, the program is crafted for those who wish to take a meaningful step forward in their lives. No matter your age or social media following, EF believes in the powerful impact of diverse experiences, making the program inclusive and supportive.
