The Office of Global Educational Programs (ECA/A/S) is divided into three branches: the Humphrey Fellowship and Institutional Linkages Branch (ECA/A/S/U); the Teacher Exchange Branch (ECA/A/S/X), and the Educational Information and Resources Branch (ECA/A/S/A). The office plans, develops, administers and monitors several major exchange activities; the Teacher Exchange Program, the Humphrey Fellowship Program, the Community College Initiatives, and the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program with the assistance of private, non-profit organizations. Through its Educational Information and Resources Branch, the office also oversees EducationUSA advising around the world.
As the only U.S. Government unit concerned with the welfare of foreign students in the United States, the Office of Global Educational Programs is also responsible for a variety of programs, products and services designed to strengthen overseas educational information centers and campus and community programs serving international students and scholars.
