The Institute of International Education is currently preparing the 2015 edition of its annual directory Funding for United States Study: A Guide for International Students and Professionals, the print companion to IIE's online search engine www.fundingusstudy.org.

With more than 1,000 grant and scholarship listings, Funding for United States Study is the most comprehensive directory on locating funding for study in the United States. It features detailed descriptions of grants, fellowships, and scholarships for undergraduate and graduate study, and doctoral and postdoctoral research in the United States. All listings are free of charge and provide an excellent opportunity to publicize your institution's programs.

For institutions whose listings appeared in the previous year's directory, we ask that you verify and update your listings and contact information or add new listings.

Institutions whose listings did not appear in previous years' directories can add scholarships or grants that are available for international students.

Funding for United States Study is a trusted resource for international students seeking study in the United States. It's proven to be an effective forum to showcase U.S. campuses to this community. Advertisers include community colleges, public and private universities, and undergraduate and graduate programs, many of which may be recruiting the same type of students your institution seeks. Rates are affordable and some prime positions remain. For additional details, contact Jeff Bunkin at Naylor, LLC, at 352.333.3342 or via email at jbunkin@naylor.com.

A recent study by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government of the State University of New York suggests that state government involvement in the international programming of colleges and universities is frequently tied to the state's commitment to stimulating economic development. While states' activities often link businesses and campuses around research, the report also points to increased foreign student recruitment and study abroad programs, with the intention of building a workforce prepared for the knowledge economy.

A recent article by David Wheeler in Al-Fanar Media discusses the "intense competition for international students’ brainpower and spending on display" at the annual meeting of NAFSA: The Association of International Educators. "Many institutions recruit international students for the diversity in perspectives that they bring," writes Wheeler. "But some institutions are also on the hunt for fee-paying students who can offset the costs of domestic ones."

An article by Karen MacGregor in University World News shares about the recently launched U-Multirank in Brussels. "U-Multirank stresses that it is not a typical ranking," writes MacGregor. "It takes a user-driven, multi-dimensional approach comparing different kinds of institutions across a range of activities and grading them from A for ‘very good’ to E for ‘weak’, rather than producing a global top 100 universities based on composite scores."
