The Institute of International Education (IIE) was established in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War to catalyze international education exchange.
The IIE administers the Fulbright and Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Programs on behalf of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
IIE partners with U.S. and foreign government agencies, private foundations and individual donors to develop programs that build the capacity of citizens to address critical global issues.
Creating a nexus between business and higher education, IIE also works with corporations and their foundations to advance education, develop a talented global workforce, and engage with the communities they serve.
