Support Students with Global Perspectives

To educate the next generation of global leaders, we must bring U.S. and international students together and provide financial support to those who need it. Funding for scholarships and fellowships will enable us to attract top students to one of the best schools of international affairs in the world. Additional resources will fund study abroad programs, our highly competitive graduate programs, and student research and internships.

"The ITIP Award enabled me to intern at the Department of Commerce, where I had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and technical skills I developed at the Elliott School to real-world scenarios. The internship also gave me a clearer sense of my career path and opened doors with prospective employers."
