February is Gap Year Exploration Month and we are inviting you to #explorethegapyear with us!

First we speak with Alia Pialtos of USA Gap Year Fairs. USA Gap Year Fairs organizes events across the US for students to discover gap year programs. Every winter, USA GYF travels to 41 locations from sea to shining sea. There are 20 fairs in February, so check usagapyearfairs.org to find one near you! We also speak with gap year alum Vicky Berman, who tells us about the fairs from a student perspective.

Next we speak with Jenn Miller of Travel Access Project, whose mission is to "put a gap year on every resume." Pretty cool, huh? In addition to providing resources for independent gappers, TAP is giving away 10 $3,000 scholarships this year to gappers. That could be you! Listen to our interview for details on how to apply.

Remember to follow the #explorethegapyear hashtag in Feb to see testimonials from gap year students, get promos for gap year programs and receive the heads up for events happening in your area. Visit gapyearexplorationmonth.com for more details.
