Stories and Impact
For over 100 years, the Institute of International Education has provided life-changing educational opportunities to people around the world in an effort to promote scholarship and mutual understanding—and to solve some of humanity’s most pressing problems. Here, you can discover stories from current and past grantees, learn about our work through IIE Impact Newsletters, and more.
Meet IIE Grantees
Every year, IIE programs support students, scholars, and artists who act as catalysts for positive change in their communities and in the world. Whether these changemakers are in a lab discovering vaccines for diseases, creating art that sheds light on political violence, or pursuing an education in the face of incredible obstacles, their collective resilience is inspiring. Read more about how IIE changemakers are creating lasting peace in our world.
