50 Fully-Funded Scholarships for Education Abroad Professionals
Equity, diversity, and inclusion aren't just buzzwords for international educators. We all know that we must double down in our commitment to build a more connected and compassionate world. These scholarships are a small way to show up for our colleagues who seek professional development in this critical area of learning.

New Scholarship to Break Barriers in Advancing Equity and Inclusion Abroad
These scholarships aim to support education abroad professionals at HBCUs, MSIs, or other institutions in states where legislation prevents the institution from approving funding for the course. We believe that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills in this critical area.
The self-paced, fully asynchronous course is designed to guide global educators in prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) as part of the education abroad experience. The course aims to help you move forward in your work with an expansive look at EDI in the U.S. today.

The Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) was formed by international education practitioners and is organized and run by volunteers from around the globe. It is an organization with the mission to bring together and inspire action to reduce emissions and reduce our impact on climate.
In May of 2023 in celebration and recognition of Earth Day CIS Abroad signed the CANIE Accord. The CANIE Accord offers a list of actions organizations can take to respond to the global climate crisis. CIS has committed to 10 articles. You can read more about which ones here.
One of our commitments is to create and publish an action plan within the first year of signing. Stay tuned as we work on this plan which will then guide our initiatives for the coming years!
