Higher Education Readiness Program Provides a Path to University

The Institute of International Education recently launched a pilot program to provide girls in Ethiopia with pathways to university. IIE’s new Higher Education Readiness Program (HER) will provide girls entering 11th grade in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital city, with scholarship support combined with innovative leadership and life skills training to help them complete their secondary education and equip them with the tools they need to continue to university. The HER program is part of IIE's Center for Women’s Leadership Initiatives, which develops and manages dynamic, innovative and substantive programming to cultivate and support women as leaders and change makers around the world. Keep up to date on the latest news about the HER program on IIE's Opening Minds blog.
