The IDEAS Program expands and diversifies American student mobility in support of U.S. foreign policy goals by providing institutional grants to U.S. colleges and universities and virtual and/or in-person capacity building activities for grant recipients and the larger U.S. study abroad community. The expansion of study abroad at U.S. higher education institutions increases mutual understanding between American students and their international counterparts; develops American students’ international networks and knowledge, particularly as related to U.S. foreign policy priorities; and enhances American students’ readiness for careers that benefit both their local communities and the United States at large.
• Program Objectives: Civil Society, Journalism, and Education- Example programming could focus on the role civil society, journalism, and/or education play in shaping public knowledge, social movements, and governance
