Authored By:
At CIEE, we believe studying abroad is truly a stepping stone to future success. That’s why we are excited to introduce CIEE College Access, an exclusive alumni benefit designed to give our alumni a competitive edge in college admissions.
What is CIEE College Access?
CIEE College Access is a new college planning resource created in partnership with participating top colleges and universities, starting with Arizona State University and George Washington University. Only 2% of U.S. high school students study abroad, and that makes your CIEE experience a unique advantage in the eyes of college admissions officers. This resource aims to help you leverage your international experience to shine in the competitive college application process.
The best part is CIEE College Access is included with your CIEE program tuition at no additional cost. That means that upon participating, you're immediately granted access to college planning support that many families typically pay hundreds of dollars for.
What's Included With CIEE College Access?
As a CIEE High School Summer Abroad alum, you will receive a wealth of expert guidance and exclusive opportunities. These include:
1. Direct connections with admission officers

4. Ongoing peer support & alumni community engagement
You can stay connected with like-minded peers and receive continuous support as you navigate the college admissions together.
