Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program’s U.S.-Korea International Education Administrators Award supports a two-week group seminar on South Korea’s higher education system and international education programs. Established in 1995 and also known as the American International Education Administrator (AIEA) Award, it serves administrators at U.S. higher education institutions and nonprofit international education exchange organizations. Participants visit colleges, universities, and government and private-sector agencies, meet relevant personnel, and take part in cultural excursions.
The itinerary typically begins in Seoul before moving outside the capital to urban, suburban, and rural settings. Through guided exposure to the philosophy, organization, and management of Korean higher education, participants develop professional networks and cross-cultural understanding. The exchange aims to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and Korea and promote international understanding and cooperation.
