Description
The President's Innovation Fund for International Experiences (PIFIE) provides seed funding to Harvard faculty to design and implement creative, academically significant programs abroad for Harvard College undergraduates. The fund aims to foster global engagement, innovative learning, and cross-school collaboration by enabling the development of new international courses, immersive experiences, and undergraduate participation in ongoing overseas projects sponsored by Harvard departments, centers, or academic units. The fund was established through the generosity of David Rockefeller to expand international opportunities for Harvard students.
