Doubling the Number of U.S. Students who Study Abroad
Every student who wants to succeed in the global economy
should study abroad. Yet less than 10 percent of U.S. undergraduates study abroad prior to graduation. This is simply
not enough. As we approach the IIE's Centennial in 2019, IIE
is launching "Generation Study Abroad," a five-year initiative
to double the number of U.S. students studying abroad by the
end of the decade.
Our goal is to identify at least 300 U.S. colleges and universities willing to double the number of their students studying abroad or significantly increase the participation rate
of their students who study abroad. We are also seeking the
support of associations, providers, foreign institutions and
governments, as well as of high school teachers, study abroad
alumni, and students.
Institutions that join the commitment agree to:
* Make a significant pledge to increase the number of their
students who study abroad;
* Take actions to undertake new and expanded activities to
enable more students to study abroad;
* Join the conversation at #GenerationStudyAbroad.
IIE will support commitment members in the following ways:
* Award 5-10 grants (of approximately $10,000) per year to
institutions that are making outstanding progress with
their targets, to be used for study abroad scholarships for
their students;
* Recognize commitment members on IIE's website and press
releases, and provide a special badge;
* Invite members to participate in annual meetings on
doubling U.S. study abroad, webinars and National
Conference Calls.

IIE Course in Myanmar: Connecting with the World
Course trainers at launch workshop in Yangon
In November 2013, IIE launched a 20-week course in Myanmar for university
and ministry representatives on setting up and managing an international education office. The course covers a range of topics from the basic functions of an
international office to developing international partnerships. Fifty-five individuals from a range of universities and one ministry attended an in-person launch
workshop and have since been following weekly virtual lessons with support
and feedback from course mentors made up of 35 expert volunteers from around
the world. This course was developed in partnership with Knowledge Platform,
Monterey Institute of International Studies, Northern Arizona University, and
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. The initiative is funded in part by
a grant to IIE from the Henry Luce Foundation.

Expansion of the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program
The Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP) is expanding to include master's degrees in applied sciences as part of the Brazilian government's larger initiative to grant 100,000 scholarships for the best students
to study at the world's best universities. The graduate component, designed and sponsored by CAPES and
CNPq, will be administered by IIE and will offer students from Brazil the opportunity to pursue terminal
master's degrees in applied technology and science fields, especially those advancing innovation and creativity.
