***CIEE Announces $1 Million Dollar Scholarship Program to Expand Access 
to Study Abroad***

CIEE is excited to announce the launch of its Global Access Initiative 
(GAIN), which is designed to overcome the main barriers to study abroad, 
namely, challenges of cost and curriculum requirements. GAIN will expand 
the opportunities for students from all backgrounds and all majors to 
participate in study abroad programs.

Through GAIN, CIEE is committing one million dollars each year to 
students who are economically challenged, are pursuing intensive 
international experiences, or are otherwise limited by their major or 
student activities. CIEE will provide grants and scholarships to 
students for full-year, semester, and summer programs.

GAIN will launch in summer 2012 and provide access to study abroad 
programs for students unable to attend due to financial constraints. 
Grants and scholarships will be available for the 36 CIEE summer 
programs offered in 21 countries. GAIN will also provide grants and 
scholarships to students who are selected as awardees by the highly 
respected Benjamin A. Gilman and David L. Boren Scholarship programs.
