Expanding Access

Jason Czyz
Co-President

2022 was a year of connection and continuity. Where lives were
disrupted by crisis, the Institute of International Education worked with students,
scholars, and artists so they could continue to learn, teach, and create. Where
institutions sought new international academic relationships, we connected themwith partners abroad. And with international mobility continuing to rebound andmost exchange activities resuming, we connected what we learned throughout
the pandemic with our vision for the future.
As war broke out in Ukraine, turmoil in Afghanistan persisted, and other crises
erupted around the world, the need for IIE’s global programs and services
was as great as ever. In response, IIE led the launch of two new programs forstudents — the Qatar Scholarship for Afghans Project and the Global Democracy
Ambassador Scholarship — while continuing to support students, scholars, andartists through our broad portfolio of crisis support programming. Afghanistan,
Cameroon, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Yemen
are just a few of the countries in which IIE programs supported displaced persons
and individuals affected by crisis.

“Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming
a teacher. Thanks to IIE, I can achieve my
dream and become a teacher in a free,democratic country. Thank you for helping
us get a higher education and make our
dreams come true.”

2 / CONNECTING INDIVIDUALS, EXPANDING ACCESS

Connecting all of our work throughout 2022 and beyond is our commitment tocreating access to opportunity. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and access remain
at the core of our mission. In 2022, we launched the IIE Center for Access andEquity, which provides a centralized way for us to track, develop, and articulate ourdiversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA) efforts, both internally and externally.
We are grateful to our partners across governments, corporations, universities,
foundations, and other nonprofits who help make this critical work possible,
including the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Defense, and to
our donors whose generosity helps to advance IIE’s mission in meaningful andinnovative ways. We could not have accomplished all we did in 2022 without thepassionate, committed IIE team members around the world who give life to theprograms that we manage and hope to the individuals whom we serve.

Responding
to Global Crises

Ukraine3

Now and throughout our distinguished history, IIE has been steadfast in
ensuring equitable access to international education for individuals aroundthe world. Yet circumstances persistently mount systemic barriers to accessfor many, particularly the displaced and marginalized, threatening students,
scholars, and artists.

2

To counter these threats, IIE pioneered rescue efforts early in our history,
starting with 600 students and scholars caught in the crossfire of the Bolshevik
Revolution, followed by those displaced by the Spanish Civil War, Nazi
Germany, the Hungarian Revolution, and apartheid.
Today, displacement and emergencies continue to multiply. Devastation has
been driven by war, widespread conflict, and climate change. Global trends
portend monumental challenges, deepening IIE’s resolve.

Soon after the Russian invasionof Ukraine, IIE launched its
Ukraine Crisis Response, rushing
immediate aid and providing
long-term support to students,
scholars, and artists whose
educations and livelihoods wereabruptly upended by the war.

Afghanistan

IIE rises to meet the growing needs of individuals in crisis around the world by
providing scholarships for displaced and refugee students, safe work placements
for threatened scholars and artists, and emergency grants for international
students in distress. Year over year, the need for this support increases. Moreapplications than ever pour in each year from students, scholars, and artists
impacted by crises around the world.

Less than one week after the fallof Afghanistan to the Taliban,
IIE launched a coordinated,organization-wide Afghanistan
Crisis Response, leveraging
programs already in place andforging new partnerships to
deploy immediate assistance forstudents, scholars, and artists.

Immediately following thedevastating earthquakes in theregion, IIE launched its Türkiye
and Syria Crisis Response to
rapidly mobilize our unparalleled
network of higher education
partners to support students
impacted by the disaster.

In the aftermath of the deadly
floods in Pakistan and theeconomic crisis in Sri Lanka, IIE
launched a call for nominations
through IIE’s Emergency Student
Fund (IIE-ESF) to support
international students whose
ability to continue their education
was jeopardized due to financial
difficulties related to these crises.

Scholar Rescue FundNew and ongoing threats to academics
around the world fueled the sixth straightyear of record-breaking application numbers
for the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF).

Crises in Afghanistan, Cameroon, Venezuela, Yemen, and elsewhere,
along with Ukraine’s overwhelming higher education emergency,
heightened the need for universities around the world to provide safe
haven and academic homes to threatened scholars. IIE-SRF supported
227 fellows in 2022, our largest number since the height of the Iraq War.
This work relied on partnerships across continents and sectors, including
with 105 higher education host institutions in 29 countries. Throughout
2022, we prioritized partnerships in scholars’ home regions. Increased
engagement with institutions in Eastern Europe, Latin America,
Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East and North
Africa region resulted in two-thirds of IIE-SRF fellows being placedoutside North America.

“Growing up as a child, I had that
passion to serve the community.
Because of the IIE-SRF Fellowship,
I’ve been able to … contributeto the rollback of diseases in
Cameroon. I want to see mypeople free and healthy.”227

IIE Artist Protection FundThe IIE Artist Protection Fund (IIE-APF) fills a
critical unmet need by protecting threatened
artists and placing them at welcoming hostinstitutions in safe countries where they cancontinue their work and plan for their futures.

2022 generated myriad challenges around the world — especiallyfor the most vulnerable. IIE-APF calls on academic, cultural, and arts
organizations to join a growing community of esteemed host institutions
worldwide that collaborate with the us to make the protection of
threatened artists a priority.
Launched in 2015, IIE-APF has directly supported 74 Fellows from across
5 continents and 29 countries in partnership with over 80 host institutionsin 17 countries around the world.

With over 38,000 alumni,
the Gilman Program provided
life-changing scholarships andopportunities to students from all
50 states. Gilman Scholars gained
valuable academic and interculturalexperiences through study abroad
and internship experiences in all
fields of study. The Gilman Program
also hosted a series of in-person andvirtual events to connect students
to opportunities in the federal
government and beyond. The Inside

IIE brought a cohort of 156 Fellows from 87
countries, nearly 60% of whom are women.
Fellows studied in their respective thematic fields
at one of 13 partner universities and engaged
in professional development collaborations
with American counterparts across the UnitedStates. 80% of surveyed Humphrey alumni haveintroduced new best practices and innovative
management methods into their organizations
on return; 46% have developed national policies,
created national programs, served as national
trainers, and advised government officials on
legislation in their home countries.
