Announcing The IIE American Passport Project
It has long been part of IIE’s mission to increase participation and diversity in study abroad, so that all students can gain the academic and career benefits of international experience. To achieve that, IIE announces the IIE American Passport Project.
With the competition launch in 2021, IIE will award funds to U.S.- based IIENetwork member colleges and universities so that they can help their first-year students who are eligible for Pell grants to obtain a US passport. For students of limited means or from underserved communities, studying abroad can require thoughtful, long-term planning. Focusing this program on first-year students gives them time to map out a plan with their advisors to incorporate study abroad into their college career.

Fellows who are selected to join this program will build their leadership skills by working as a team with a dedicated mentor, attend monthly webinars with well-known guest speakers, be eligible to earn two semester hours graduate education credit from The Ohio State University, and earn a stipend. The highly diverse cohorts of leaders have received mentoring, trainings, and access to a network of support and expertise to help them be the best leader they strive to be. The application period is open for the third cohort of PLSP Fellows.

French Embassy “Community College in France” Programs
The French Embassy is offering affordable, high quality academic and professional study abroad opportunities for Community College students. We are very impressed with community colleges’ internationalization efforts and would be delighted to welcome your students in our programs. In 2019, the overall feedback of the students was extremely positive with over 87% of them saying they had an excellent or very good experience.
As a result of the ongoing pandemic and the uncertainty of international travel, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States have made the decision to offer virtual Bootcamps in 2021. We are proud to offer a high-quality, interactive online experience to your students.
The innovative and collaborative online opportunities allow students to still participate in an intercultural experience and broaden their academic perspectives. Students will be able to apply to the below programs, supported by the French Embassy:
The ENSAD (Higher College of Decorative Arts) will offer an online workshop on sustainable design. Through interviews and a digital workspace, students will create and co-develop a sustainable project for their community. Take a look at their program! (Students can apply between April 1st and 20th).
Polytech Montpellier offers an online summer school dedicated to the study of Grand Industrial Challenges for students interested in science. With FLOW, students can choose from 3 different tracks and will develop their project management and intercultural skills. (Students can apply ASAP).
A "Carte blanche" Scholarship: the Cultural Services of the French Embassy puts students in charge! They will be able to choose from a wide range of summer programs organized by French institutions and apply for funding.
