IIE’s Generation Study Abroad initiative welcomes the Government of Ireland as a new Lead Signature Partner. Ireland’s Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan TD, has committed $100,000 to IIE’s Generation Study Abroad fund. The majority of the funding will be used to provide incentive grants to colleges and universities from across the United States, which the institutions will match and award as student scholarships which will be known as Ireland-IIE Generation Study Abroad Scholarships.
