On Tuesday, January 20, 2015, the Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE) announced that it will provide $500,000 in study abroad scholarships to 100 high schools across the U.S. as part of its Generation Study Abroad pledge to provide $20 million in scholarships and grants by 2020. These scholarships will be extended to select high schools that have shown a commitment to expanding global education and promoting international exchange opportunities with CIEE. In an effort to make the study abroad experience accessible to more college students, the Council on International Educational Exchange has announced it will award USD 1.2 million in grants to college students for study at one of its two new Global Institutes in London or Berlin. One hundred grants of USD 6,000 will be awarded per semester during the 2015-2016 academic year, with the first round available through CIEE on January 15, 2015 for fall 2015. In its upcoming issue of The Language Educator, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) will feature an interview with IIE's own President and CEO, Allan Goodman.
