Global Access Initiative for Study Abroad

CIEE Announces $1 Million Scholarship Program to Expand Access to Study Abroad

CIEE launched GAIN to help overcome the main barriers to study abroad, namely, challenges of cost and curriculum requirements. GAIN will aide in diversifying study abroad by providing opportunities for students who are economically challenged, from diverse backgrounds, or underrepresented fields of study.

"We created the CIEE Global Access Initiative to create access for students who otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to study abroad. GAIN supports our mission as an organization 'to help people gain understanding, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world.' We’re excited about this scholarship and the opportunities it’ll provide U.S. college students."

- Martin Hogan—Executive Vice President, Study Abroad
