What Are We
The Caribbean Student Support Network is a full service study abroad provider based and registered in Trinidad and Tobago. CSSN was created to enhance the international education landscape in the global south by facilitating long and short term study abroad in the Caribbean region. Guided by the watchwords Ethical Education Everywhere, CSSN is committed to building study abroad programs that operate in harmony with the local environment and culture.

What Do We Do
In addition to hosting a semester-long study abroad program based in Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean Student Support Network provides support for academic visits, collaborative research and short term study tours across the Caribbean. We aid in the planning and execution of these experiences by forging local connections that align with the academic mandate of the study tour and serving as both logistical and on the ground support for the duration of the experience.
The Caribbean Student Support network is guided by an advisory board comprising of study abroad professionals and academics from Wellesley, Bowdoin, Amherst and Williams Colleges.
