Program Impact

Since 2016, the IDEAS Program, formerly known as the Capacity Building Program for U.S. Study Abroad, has supported U.S. colleges and universities in their efforts to create, expand, and diversify study abroad and other international opportunities on their campuses through grants and capacity building initiatives. Below are some of the highlights of the impact of the program’s small grants, trainings, and resources.
