IIE Centennial Fellowship

The IIE Centennial Fellowship is an annual fellowship program that honors IIE’s Centennial and our association with the Fulbright Program. The IIE Centennial Fellowship seeks to help enhance Fulbright as a life-long experience and recognize Fulbright alumni whose work embodies the underlying Fulbright values of mutual understanding, leadership, global problem-solving, and global impact.

Building upon IIE’s legacy as a champion of education equity at all levels, the 2024 IIE Centennial Fellowship program will align with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4, which focuses on quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. The Fellowship will focus on SDG Indicator 4.5.1, emphasizing the elimination of disparities in education and the promotion of equal access to education for all vulnerable groups, with a priority on parity indices (gender, rural/urban, bottom/top wealth quintile, disability status, indigenous peoples, and conflict-affected populations).   

The 2024 Fellowship will award four Fulbright alumni $25,000 each to spearhead action-oriented projects that directly address the disparities outlined in Target 4.5. Projects must focus on tangible solutions to ensure quality primary and secondary education that will broaden participation in higher education, with measurable outcomes that advance the values of mutual understanding, leadership, and global impact synonymous with the Fulbright Program. Through innovative approaches and solution-oriented projects, the IIE Centennial Fellowship aims to catalyze lasting change in education systems worldwide, promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. 

The 2024-2025 application is now closed.
