The Institute of International Education (IIE) aims to increase interconnectedness globally by supporting educational pursuits. They offer scholarships and help students gain access to educational opportunities such as the China-U.S. Scholars Program (CUSP). CUSP is an exchange program for arts and humanities students from China, Hong Kong SAR, and the United States to allow them to conduct research abroad. 48 grants will be awarded to select students and faculty (the awards expected to be relatively equally distributed among the three pools of applicants from each location). Grants will last for 5-10 months and all exchanges must take place between August 2021 and May 2022. Benefits include international airfare, a living stipend, insurance, and other allowances.
