A global not-for-profit established in 1919, IIE is the first private organization facilitating international exchanges. We create and implement international education programs, conduct research, and provide life-changing opportunities for students, scholars, and artists worldwide.
Our network of offices and affiliates around the world is led by talented and dedicated international education experts who implement initiatives driven by key regional needs as well as the goals of our sponsors.
Each year, IIE touches the lives of more than 29,000 people in 180 countries through scholarship and training programs, research, and crisis response initiatives. We administer flagship programs such as the Fulbright Program, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, and the International Visitor Leadership Program on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.
