The program co-sponsored by the Institute of International Education and the Fund for Reconciliation and Development is made possible by a three-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. Host schools have provided tuition waivers, and in some instances additional support. As with the two previous USIEEEP programs, the participants will begin their visit at the NAFSA conference this year held in Denver. At the conference they will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of higher education institutions from North America as well as others attending from around the world. Following the conference, the participants will learn first hand about the support services for foreign students available at their host universities by enrolling in intensive English language courses for the summer term. Many of the participants will also have the opportunity to meet with other nearby higher education institutions. The participants will conclude the US phase of the program at a wrap-up workshop that will be held in mid-August in New York. The USIEEEP program has developed a network of over 30 foreign study advisors throughout Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Funding permitted, all of the participants in the three rounds of the program will meet this fall in Vietnam for a follow-up workshop to receive specialized training in foreign student advising.
