Summary:
Up to two research awards, up to two lecturing/research awards, up to three lecturing awards, up to one distinguished lecturing award and four seminar awards for international education administrators.

Program Overview:
Teaching is in English, but because students' levels of English comprehension vary, lecturers should expect to spend more time preparing class materials and be innovative and patient in teaching. Grant numbers for all categories are subject to funding availability. For the international education administrators program, contact Senior Program Officer David Adams, 202.686.4021, dadams@cies.iie.org.
