Five months after pledging a bold set of initiatives in support of Generation Study Abroad, CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange is once again breaking down the main barriers to international education: cost, curriculum, and culture. On May 27, during the NAFSA Annual Conference, CIEE President and CEO James P. Pellow announced a new $20,000 grant to recognize innovative international programs created by faculty members and administrators at U.S. colleges and universities. Selected faculty will receive funding to run a custom CIEE program that will enable students from underrepresented groups to study abroad, allowing them to develop critical intercultural knowledge and professional skills. Faculty can apply for the grant on CIEE’s new Generation Study Abroad website, launched last week, which offers resources for students and faculty to learn how they can play a role in increasing study abroad participation and provides tools for tracking CIEE’s progress in the effort.
