100,000 Strong in the Americas
100,000 Strong in the Americas uses the principle of leveraged innovation with higher education institutions (HEIs) that demonstrate the greatest commitment and innovation toward increasing study abroad opportunities between the United States and countries in the Western Hemisphere. In applying for the Innovation Fund grants, HEIs will be asked to demonstrate how they will assert leadership in implementing the innovations proposed, how they will address on-campus barriers to student mobility, how they will maintain student engagement, and how they will commit to making concrete changes to expand access to study abroad as sending and/or hosting institutions.

Dates for lecture: After last day of semester (total of 7-10 travel days). Travel logistics: ISP will cover the roundtrip airfare and visa (if needed). In-country costs are typically covered by partner schools. |
