About IIE Fairs

For over 30 years IIE has organized higher education fairs, providing value for:

U.S. Colleges and Universities:

• A well-managed event at a reasonable cost at which representatives can meet serious prospective students interested in U.S. higher education
• A comprehensive in-country orientation to inform participants about current factors influencing the flow of students to the United States
• A trusted platform on which to build institution’s name in Asia

Students and Parents:

• A great chance to learn about opportunities of higher education in the United States from official, reliable, and legitimate sources of information at no cost
• An opportunity to meet face-to-face with official representatives of regionally accredited U.S. colleges and universities
• Opportunities to learn about scholarships available to study in the U.S.
