Selection Criteria

IIE will review applications to confirm eligibility and relevance to the category. IIE will engage an internal and external selection committee with knowledge and experience in the field to evaluate applications based on these additional criteria:

  • Level of innovation – this may include use of technology and adaptations to infrastructure to overcome challenges
  • Strength of impact and outcomes – this may include addressing systemic issues to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and access to international education
  • Scalability – consideration if the model is transferable or scalable for others to use and adapt
