CIEE Leading Change in Study Abroad Matching Grants

As a changemaker in the field of study abroad, CIEE pledged to provide $3,000,000 over four years in matching grants to support colleges and universities who seek to advance their institutional aspirations through a material investment in international programs.

Four nationally recognized institutions of higher education were selected to receive $1 million over four years to establish new study abroad programs that will advance institutional goals while improving student outcomes. Each of the four winners pledged to match CIEE’s $1 million grant resulting in a total of $8 million in funding over four years to implement bold programs that:

• Advance both institutional and student success goals  
• Expand access to students from all backgrounds and academic majors
• Improve our world through impactful student engagement abroad
