State · INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION INC — $72.3M (USA)
Key claim: The Department of State obligated $72.3 million to the Institute of International Education Inc. to support the Fulbright Student Program (including a $6.26 million CR1 award through December 11, 2020), with place of performance in the United States.
Abstract
Department of State obligated $72.3M to INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION INC, for work in USA. IIE IS HEREBY AWARDED $$6,262,131 IN CR1 TO SUPPORT THE FULBRIGHT STUDENT PROGRAM THROUGH DECEMBER 11, 2020 PENDING AVAILABILITY OF FY 2021 FUNDS.
Why this matters
The $72.3M obligation to IIE for the Fulbright Student Program illustrates the scale of State Department educational-exchange spending outside the traditional foreign-assistance humanitarian and health portfolios. Tracking these awards helps distinguish exchange/public-diplomacy funding from democracy-governance and humanitarian streams, and identifies IIE as a major recurring implementing partner.
