International Education Administrators (IEA) seminars help U.S. international education professionals and senior higher education officials create empowering connections with the societal, cultural, and higher education systems in other countries. Grantees have the opportunity to learn about the host country’s education system and to establish networks of U.S. and international colleagues in the course of an intensive two-week grant period. Grantees return with enhanced ability to serve and encourage international students and prospective study abroad students. New School staff and administrators who are U.S. citizens and are interested in learning more about these seminars or need application support can email the campus Fulbright Program advisor.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program for U.S. citizens provides grant funding awards for individually designed study/research projects and for English teaching assistant programs.
