The IIE Centennial Fellowship is an annual fellowship program that honors IIE’s Centennial and our association with the Fulbright Program. The IIE Centennial Fellowship seeks to help enhance Fulbright as a life-long experience and recognize Fulbright alumni whose work embodies the underlining Fulbright values of mutual understanding, leadership, global problem solving, and global impact.

In the 2023 application cycle, 4 Fulbright alumni will be selected as IIE Centennial Fellows to receive awards of up to $25,000 for ongoing or planned projects that actively address Climate Change at the global, regional and/or local level. These projects may range in approach but must be action-oriented and solutions-focused. Successful project proposals will solve a specific problem related to climate change and demonstrate tangible outputs and outcomes.   

Additionally, 1 Fulbright alumni will be selected to receive the IIE New Leader Award, which recognizes alumni who have completed their Fulbright program in the past 5 years (2022 – 2018). The proposed project must already be ongoing and match the above Climate Change theme. The selected New Leader will receive an award of up to $15,000.  

The 2023-24 application period is now closed.
