Announcement of IIE New Partnership with Schwarzman Scholars

 

Schwarzman Scholars, the elite international scholarship program based at Tsinghua University and modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship, announced a partnership with IIE to develop and implement an international application process as well as recruitment and selection practices. 

Schwarzman Scholars was founded in 2013 with a very specific global mission to educate future world leaders about China and in so doing, contribute to stronger, more stable relations between nations. IIE will help Schwarzman Scholars accomplish that mission by supporting its efforts to attract the world’s most entrepreneurial, independent, critical-thinking future leaders who understand that in-depth, first-hand exposure to China is critically important in the 21st century. Each year, 200 students from around the world will be named as Schwarzman Scholars.
