Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) - International Programs

FIPSE’s four international programs represent a first-of-a-kind collaboration among the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education and foreign government agencies to fund and coordinate federal education grant programs. Since 1995, the EU-U.S. Program, North American Program, and U.S.-Brazil Program have involved over 1,400 institutions in Europe, North America, and Brazil. Through funding from FIPSE and its foreign government counterparts, these programs since 2001 have helped over 3,500 students study in their disciplines and professions in another country, often in a foreign language. Over 9,000 non-mobile students have been impacted by the changes to the curricula at their home institutions that have come about through collaboration among the participating institutions.
