Annual Report 1976
Institute of International Education
The Institute of International Education has changed its fiscal year,
which traditionally ended June 3 0 . Future fiscal years will end on S e p tember 30. Making this c h a n g e required the addition of a transitional
quarter to fiscal year 1976. As a result, the HE Annual Report 1976
covers a fifteen-month period beginning July 1, 1975, and ending S e p tember 3 0 , 1976.

HE/1976 in Review
IIE's purpose is to build understanding—and work toward a more peaceful and productive international order—
through the exchange of students and scholars, knowledge and
skills. The Institute carries on this effort through hundreds of
programs administered for sponsors—and through a large group
of Educational Services supported by contributed funds.
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
Educational Services reach the largest share of IIE's constituency. They include:
• Information and counseling activities that helped over
200,000 people to identify educational opportunities in
1975/6.
• Publications that are fact-filled guides to international
study. Over 55,000 were requested during the year.
• The International Councils on Higher Education—a
special activity of HE which brings together university
heads from the United States and abroad. Conferences
in the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia focused on
topics in educational development and cooperation.
• Services to colleges and universities that include a
wide range of aids to the foreign student and study
abroad advisers and the admissions officer.
• Scholarship programs that generated several
hundred thousand dollars in financial aid to especially
well-qualified foreign undergraduates for U.S. study
during the year.
• Newsletters and reports that provided accurate and
timely information to the academic community and
other HE audiences.
• Conferences and seminars that developed professional skills and provided a means for exchange of
information.
• Program planning and development activities that
used HE resources to meet new challenges in international education.
• Community hospitality programs that enriched the
experience of the foreign student and the international
visitor.
SPONSORED PROGRAMS
HE programs for U.S. and foreign students, leaders and
specialists, and researchers and advisers on technical assistance
projects overseas assisted 9,858 men and women during the
year which ended September 30, 1976. The statistics break
down as follows:
• U.S. students: Academic year programs
630
Short-term programs
252
• Foreign students: Academic year programs . 6,698
Short-term programs
870
• Leaders and specialists
825
• Researchers and advisers
on technical assistance projects overseas . 583
• Total individuals assisted
9,858
• Agencies for which instructional materials and
equipment were purchased
60
These men and women—and agencies in the lessdeveloped nations for which materials were purchased—were
aided through 294 projects sponsored by 92 governments, universities, foundations, corporations and international organizations.
HE OFFICES
HE administered the sponsored programs and provided
the Educational Services mentioned above through seven offices
in the United States and four offices overseas. In so doing, it drew
upon the resources of 24 consultants in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America, and upon hundreds of cooperative ties with universities
and private and public agencies all over the world.
HE SOURCES OF FUNDS
Approximately eight percent of the Institute's administrative budget is derived from unrestricted contributions from corporations, foundations, and individual donors. The remainder of
the budget derives from fees provided by sponsors for the operation of educational exchange programs and other income.
For financial information related to IIE's Educational
Services, see the columns headed "Institute Educational Services" in the Statement of Functional Expenses on pp. 44-45.
For financial information related to IIE's sponsored programs,
see the columns headed "Sponsored Programs."
HE is a not-for-profit organization as described under the
Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3). Contributions to HE
are tax-deductible.
The President's Message
To meet... changing purposes and... economic and social pressures, the attitudinai and organizational changes required of
nonprofit agencies are significant—but they are not insurmountable.
First, private nonprofit agencies will need to be concerned about
better management of their limited resources... (Second,) nonprofit agencies will need not only better management, but better
management planning.
T
X hese phrases define a major challenge to organizations like HE in
the latter half of the seventies. They are taken from a thoughtful paper 1 by
Stephen H. Rhinesmith, the able president of the American Field Service.
Mr. Rhinesmith was making a generalization about nonprofit
organizations. His statements, however, apply directly to HE, although the
Institute is, in some ways, a unique nonprofit organization. It is by far the
largest educational exchange agency in the United States; it administers
programs with 126 nations; and the range and diversity of its activities are
unmatched.
HE has a unique structure, as well, one which evolved to meet two
pressing needs. First, there was a need for an organization able to provide
information, advice and help to higher education and to the larger community in regard to international exchange. This was the role HE was established
to fulfill in 1919.
The Institute still offers this type of assistance. Today it is provided
through its Educational Services. These are IIE's donor-supported service
activities and include publications; information, counseling and library services; special aids to campus foreign student advisers, study abroad advisers
and admissions officers; scholarship programs; and conferences. Educational Services are provided to a worldwide constituency.
Second, an organization was needed with the capacity and special
knowledge required to manage programs of educational exchange. The
Institute undertook to do this by administering programs for sponsors. This
aspect of IIE's work engages staff in administering nearly 300 programs for
92 sponsors, and it aided almost 10,000 individual grantees last year.
IIE's Educational Services and its sponsored programs represent
two sides of the same coin: effective international exchange requires both
administrative capability and an informed community with the knowledge
and tools to make the exchange process work. Each aspect of the Institute's
activity supports the other, and both are necessary.
The Institute carries out this very sizable range of activities without
a large endowment or reserve of funds. The economic pressures mentioned
by Mr. Rhinesmith have been inescapable realities throughout the seventies.
The cost of administering both sponsored programs and Educational Services has increased. Fundraising for Educational Services, which are substantially supported by contributions, has become more difficult in an uncertain
economic environment.
Social pressures have also applied their force, although generally
in a more positive direction. HE has a strong commitment to its work with
developing nations, whose needs continually are changing. Their needs are
also extremely diverse, given wide variations in wealth, population, educational development, and the like. Keeping abreast of these needs has required an increased investment in fact-finding, an increased presence overseas, and a willingness to experiment. In other words, social change around
the world has motivated change at HE.
The Institute must find means to meet these social and (particularly) economic pressures effectively in order to fulfill its basic purposes. In
view of the many and disparate needs the Institute serves or could serve,
making appropriate, affordable choices is not an easy task. Finite resources
must be used well, but tomorrow's needs must also be prepared for—and
that requires investment. Good management, indeed the best possible management, is required. And better management planning must provide a
guide to the future.
1 Stephen H. Rhinesmith, '"Outlook for the Next Five Years for U.S. Non-Profit Agencies Engaged
in International Person-to-Person Contact." unpublished paper prepared for Duke University
Seminar on International Person-To-Person Contact, November, 1976.
Preparing for the Future
All organizations need to plan. HE, a complex organization responding to an exceedingly complex environment, perhaps needs to plan
more than most. The Institute has sought to systematize its planning in recent
years.
During the 1975/6 fiscal year. HE officers working together developed an operational planning mechanism. The officers established a range of
institutional objectives which are serving as a guide for activity throughout
1976/7.
Setting priorities in this manner has been notably useful. The work
of the officers' planning group has motivated current efforts to extend HE
activities abroad; to evaluate the Institute's services to U.S. higher education;
to increase the involvement of all staff in the development of useful new
programs; to improve the productivity and cost-effectiveness of HE activities;
and to better train and utilize personnel. It has insured a consensus as to what
the Institute's most important objectives are and has provided a measure
against which performance can be judged.
Senior staff also developed a zero-base budgeting system for HE,
which was used on an experimental basis in 1975/6. The zero-base system
provides a further means of making the appropriate, affordable choices—
with greater assurance that they are objectively made.
The Institute's Office of Planning and Program Development of
course plays a central role in preparing for the future. During the 1975/6
year, it focused much attention on the expansion of HE activity abroad.
Opportunities for useful service are largely concentrated in the lessdeveloped countries; the decision-making process in regard to new programs of educational development and international training largely occurs
in these nations, even when international funding is involved.
For HE, this has meant an increasingly active schedule of contacts
abroad. Particular attention has been focused on a target group of nations,
selected on the basis of their ability to use U.S. educational resources
effectively in their national development.
The Institute was particularly fortunate to have the assistance of
former Senator J. William Fulbright, who acted as IIE's Special Representative during the year, in seeking to develop new exchange programs. Senator
Fulbright visited Latin America twice, meeting senior government officials
and educational leaders in Brazil, Colombia. Mexico and Venezuela. He also
traveled throughout the Middle East, holding discussions with leaders of
Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. American Friends of the Middle
East was invited by HE to co-sponsor this trip, and will cooperate with HE on
projects that may emerge from it.
The Senator's work was supplemented by trips by HE staff to
Africa and Asia. In light of the practical and political exigencies and the
financial constraints on many less-developed countries, not all these efforts
will bear fruit. However, they are a critical element in insuring a productive
future for HE. And these efforts offer notable opportunities to serve.
In one African nation, for example, HE staff has been working
closely for many months with government officials to develop a plan for a
large national educational development program. The Institute sent a small
academic review team headed by a senior official of a U.S. higher educational association to this nation, made recommendations based on the
team's observations, and is now assisting in the development of proposals for
funding.
This project may or may not result in an IIE-administered international training program; it has definitely resulted in effective assistance to an
African nation. We hope that the future will offer us more such opportunities
to serve.
The Institute has sought to build for the future in other ways.
Interest in the Institute's faculty recruitment service has increased in recent
months, for example, and has already resulted in two programs: one aids a
variety of African institutions through an Agency for International Development grant; the other assisted the newly-formed United Nations University
on a special assignment. The Office of Planning and Program Development
is exploring an expansion of this activity. It is a service which would be useful
to many universities overseas, but which the experience of other organizations indicates can be highly expensive to administer on a large scale unless
very carefully structured.
In addition to investigating new services, HE has been actively
engaged in seeking new sources of funding for international education. In
recent years multinational corporations have shown growing interest in
international education. Nearly thirty corporations now sponsor fellowship
programs administered by HE. The companies concerned benefit from improved employee and community relations and from the enhanced professional capacities of employees. The foreign countries in which these multinationals are active benefit from the expansion of their educated manpower. HE
believes that international business and international education can form
productive partnerships and that the opportunities for such partnerships will
increase as the overseas subsidiaries of U.S.-based multinationals grow and
mature.
In recent months, the Institute undertook a number of other
organized efforts to insure a productive future. Potentially among the most
significant was the meeting of the Planning Group for the International
Conference of Educational Exchange Organizations (ICEEO), held at IIE's
New York headquarters in late 1976. The idea for the ICEEO emerged at the
recent Fiftieth Anniversary celebration of the German Academic Exchange
Service {DAAD is the German acronym) in Bonn, which was attended by
representatives of many national organizations with purposes parallel to
those of HE.
Discussions at the DAAD meeting turned on the many common
issues and problems faced by the agencies represented there. It was decided
that it would be useful to explore the possibility of an international association
of exchange organizations; out of this came the ICEEO Planning Group
meeting. Senior representatives of agencies from Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East met for a week of discussions, and a larger international conference is being planned to ratify their decisions.
The ICEEO is still in an early, exploratory phase, but it is a sensible
concept. In an era of limited resources, it is appropriate and necessary for
exchange organizations, which are in the business of cooperation in any
case, to seek means of collaboration.
It seems appropriate to close this section, which deals with planning and development for the future, by noting IIE's collaboration with
Venezuela in planning the establishment of a fellowship administration
mechanism for the Programa de Becas Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho in the
United States. The Programa is the Venezuelan Government's massive
scholarship program for national development, for which HE has been the
U.S. administrative agency since mid-1974. HE and the representatives of
the Fundacion Gran Mariscal de Ayachucho, the Venezuelan Government
foundation which manages the program worldwide, have been working
together for over six months on the phased transfer of responsibilities for the
over 3,000 Venezuelan students currently under HE supervision. A special
HE Office of Technical Assistance has been set up to coordinate the extremely complicated transfer process, which will not be completed until the
summer of 1978.
It has been an enormously productive experience for HE to have
worked with the Venezuelans in getting their program of scholarships for
national development underway. It is good to report that the transfer has
gone smoothly thus far. The Institute's staff has learned a great deal from its
experience with the program, all of which will be useful in the administration
of other national development projects in the years to come. The sense
of purpose and national pride the Venezuelan students bring to their
U.S. academic experience is exemplary and bodes well for the future of
Venezuela.
In all cases the end in view has been improved management:
better use of the Institute's own resources and those of our sponsors in
administering their programs—and better service to the educational community through IIE's donor-supported Educational Services.
It is particularly crucial for HE to stretch resources in providing its
Educational Services, because it is through Educational Services that the
Institute reaches its largest audience. Some 200,000 people each year are
assisted by HE information and counseling services. Over 55,000 publications are distributed. Proportionally large numbers of people are reached by
special services to higher education and to the individual student—and by
conferences, community programs, newsletters and other service activities.
Costs of providing Educational Services have grown, however,
during a period in which an unsettled economy has made the contributions
necessary to support them more difficult to raise.
In some cases, the Institute has sustained or even extended the
reach of Educational Services through improved methods. Group counseling programs have proven highly successful overseas. The Institute's major
publications have been computerized, which means that as they are updated
more information can be provided, and in a more timely manner. New
information packages permit HE to respond to most written requests for
information more quickly and with more data, while several recentlydeveloped newsletters pull together information needed by educators in the
United States and overseas.

Managing Effectively
Carrying forward the Institute's goals in a difficult period for higher
education—and for nonprofit organizations generally—requires a strong
commitment to managing limited resources well.
Since IIE's basic resource is its experienced staff, particular emphasis was placed on maximizing this resource during the year. HE management staff participated in a series of training seminars organized for the
Institute by the American Management Association in New York City. Additional training seminars have been organized for HE staff at several other
levels of the organization.

'Using resources well' might seem to be a code phrase for simple
thrift—for stretching the available dollar. But, in fact, it can just as well mean
expansion of activity as consolidation, if expansion allows resources to be
used more effectively. HE has both consolidated and expanded activities in
the last year.
HE consolidated the International Councils on Higher Education
(ICHE) with the Department of Overseas Services and Foreign Student
Programs. Heretofore, ICHE had been a separate entity within the Institute
concerned solely with IIE's series of senior educational policymakers' conferences abroad. Consolidation made sense from several perspectives. Administratively, ICHE fits well in the Department which is concerned with
foreign student programs and overseas office activity. The consolidation
permits a direct coordination of ICHE conferences with other Institute activities abroad. Financially, the consolidation permitted a significant reduction in expenditure with no loss in quality, because administrative burdens
are more widely spread.
The quality and value of the ICHE program is unquestionable.
The 1977 Middle East conference about to convene in Saudi Arabia, for
example, renews cooperative relationships between the United States and
the Arab world that have been disrupted for a decade. Generous support of
actual conference costs by the IBM World Trade Corporation enabled HE to
organize this meeting and its predecessor in Kuwait. (Having mentioned IBM
World Trade, I would be remiss not to mention the assistance provided to the
Council on Higher Education in the American Republics by the Tinker
Foundation and for the Asian Council by the Luce Foundation over the
years. It is such continuing support which permits the building-up of a
productive program.)
HE made a small but significant expansion during 1975/6 by
creating a new Department of Regional Office Services, with Alice Pratt, who
continues as IIE/Houston Director, as Vice President. This change reflects the
prominent role the regions play in the life of HE as they extend the range of HE

Student Programs
activities nationally. The new Department provides a unified voice and
central coordination for these offices, and places them under the supervision
of a strong manager with substantial experience in regional office administration and a proven track record in fundraising.
It is a truism, of course, that effective management requires effective managers. For this reason, we were pleased to welcome Ronald Wormser as IIE's new Vice President for Administration during 1975/6. Ron
Wormser's experience includes service as Vice President for Administration,
State University of New York/New Paltz, and Associate Dean for Administration and Development, Harvard Graduate School of Education. His broad
range of abilities has already proven its worth to the Institute.
We anticipate making a similar statement about Kenneth Brock,
who joins HE as its new Vice President for Development and Public Affairs on
May 15, 1977. Kenneth Brock has an exceptionally strong and varied
background in educational fundraising at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, where he has worked since 1964. Currently he is M.I.T.'s
Director of Resource Operations. He has also been active as Director of the
M.I.T. Alumni Fund, and in other positions.
We regret the loss to HE of Joseph Donelan, who retires from the
Institute this spring. Joe Donelan joined HE in 1973, after closing out his
career in the State Department as Assistant Secretary for Administration. He
served HE both as Vice President for Administration (in New York City) and
as Vice President for Governmental Affairs (in Washington, D.C.). He
brought an exceptional combination of management skill, knowledge of
international affairs, and Federal Government experience to both positions.
All staff wish him well in what should be an active retirement.
The Washington office, under Mr. Donelan's administration, was
active during the year in organizing the Bicentennial Project sponsored by
the Board of Foreign Scholarships of the State Department's Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs. This project celebrated the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Mutual Educational Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) Program. (It
is described in greater detail in the special section of the Annual Report which
reviews IIE's long relationship with the program.) HE has cooperated with the
State Department on the Fulbright Program since its beginnings after World
War II, and we consider it our central activity.
Given the Institute's lengthy involvement in the Mutual Educational Exchange Program, it is perhaps not inappropriate to reiterate our
concern—and that of our many friends in higher education and the
community—with the static funding of this program in recent years. In the
past decade, the erosion of the Federal Government's exchange program
has reduced the number of Fulbright-Hays Fellows by fifty percent and
more; it has had equally deleterious effects on other activities of the Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which range from the interchange of
distinguished senior lecturers and researchers to projects in the arts, music
and sports.
The Department of State program is, in fact, central to the entire
educational and cultural exchange effort of the United States, through the
Bureau's own activities as well as through the support it provides to several
hundred American organizations active in building friendly relations with
other countries. Knowing what the State Department's program has done,
and can do, we want to see it healthy and thriving.
There have been signs of a renewed interest in educational and
cultural relations on the part of the Carter Administration. We are very
pleased to see this interest, and hope that it will be a continuing concern of
the new Administration. We believe that strengthened educational and
cultural relations programs can contribute much to a positive foreign policy.
In regard to the Carter Administration, it is appropriate to mention
here the resignations from the HE Board of Trustees of two Trustees,
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Ernest Boyer. Both are listed on the inside cover of
the Annual Report, because that list serves as a record of the Board membership for the year covered by this report. Both, however, later resigned from
the Board to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest in their new
positions as National Security Adviser to the President and U.S. Commissioner of Education. Our loss is the Administration's gain, and we wish both
gentlemen well in their new posts.

HE Educational Services
Communicating Needed Information
E
educational Services 1 are supported by the contributions of
hundreds of individuals, corporations, foundations—and the over 500
colleges and universities which are HE Educational Associates. These
activities are the means by which the Institute serves the largest portion of
its constituency in the United States and around the world. Educational
Services reached an estimated total of over 200,000 people last year.
The contributed funds which support Educational Services constitute eight percent of the Institute's total "administrative income." The dollar
figure which tells most about the Institute's effective capacity is its "administrative income," i.e., the amount of money available to support the salaries,
office costs and other expenditures required to carry out IIE's myriad activities. This figure was $9,446,057 in 1975/6—$8,295,867 in fees and
unrestricted contributions paid by sponsors to cover IIE's costs in administering their programs, $777,358 in unrestricted contributions and $372,832 in
other income (investments, rentals, publications sales).
As noted above, in 1975/6 unrestricted contributions were approximately eight percent of the administrative income total, and they were
an important eight percent. It is contributions which the Institute can use most
flexibly in fulfilling its mission in international education. Administrative fees,
in contrast, are disbursed almost entirely in salaries and other costs directly
related to the running of sponsored programs, and thus are unavailable for
the support of service activities.
Without contributions, HE could continue to serve usefully by
managing programs on a nonprofit basis through contracts with sponsors,
as it has for many years. It could not, however, continue to provide
information about exchanges, to offer special assistance to colleges and
universities throughout the United States, to publish, to hold conferences—or to carry out many other activities that insure the continued
vitality and utility of international education, such as program planning and
development.
Although HE would continue to be a central repository for
knowledge about the field of educational exchange if it functioned solely as
a contract agency, the absence of contributed support would essentially
mean that there would be no outlet to the public for the information and
resources available within the Institute—information and resources which
are used to the benefit of hundreds of thousands of people each year.
Funds offered by donors provide the basis for the Institute's
communications programs—its information and counseling services, its
publications and periodicals, and its census activities—and for its longrange program planning and program development activities.
Contributions also support activities that make international
cooperation through education possible—overseas and regional offices,
HE scholarship programs, and special services to higher education such as
the Applicant Information Service and the Reports on Foreign Education.
In addition, these funds provide partial support for IIE's effort to
focus the attention of senior policymakers on problems of education and
development—the International Councils on Higher Education.
International exchange is an exceptionally varied field—
involving thousands of individuals, colleges, universities, international,
governmental and private agencies in over one hundred nations. Communication within a field of such diversity presents many difficulties, yet
effective exchange is only possible when information reaches students and
others who need it quickly and in an accurate form. For this reason, HE
places special emphasis on its communications programs.
INFORMATION AND COUNSELING
IIE's information, counseling, and library services reach tens of
thousands of students and scholars interested in international exchange
each year. Through these services the Institute fills needs for knowledge
about financial aid, visa regulations, student programs and services, housing and health and the many other processes involved in planning a
successful international experience.
This year, HE completed the installation of its University Master
File. The computerized data base includes a profile of all U.S. higher
educational institutions; data on tuition, fees and living costs for virtually all
U.S. colleges and universities with active international student programs;
results of the Institute's census of international students; and much other
information. The advantage of the system is that it permits integration and
correlation of data generated by a number of heretofore separate activities,
allowing HE to better serve its public.
1 See financial dala under 'Institute Educational Services" in the Statement of Functional Expenses on pp. 44-45.
IIE's annual census of foreign students is the only comprehensive
exchange with the United States.
In the near future, the Institute hopes to have sufficient funds to
modernize its library services by converting its collections of U.S. and
foreign university catalogues—the most comprehensive in the United
States—to microfiche. This would simplify updating the collections and
increase accessibility to the user.
HE continually seeks new ways to provide information rapidly
and effectively. Each year thousands of requests for information from
foreign students are answered with IIE's free publications, Fields of Study
in U.S. Colleges and Universities, Study in U.S. Colleges and Universities: A Selected Bibliography and the new Practical Guide for Foreign
Visitors. These provide a means of responding rapidly to the majority of a
large volume of written requests for basic information.
In overseas offices the Institute has sought wherever possible, to
use group counseling techniques to stretch limited staff to reach the largest
number of students. Counseling is a particularly important activity of HE
abroad, as the Institute's overseas offices are all located in areas in which
interest in U.S. education is particularly high—and in which reliable and
comprehensive advice and assistance are especially needed.
FOREIGN STUDENT CENSUS
HE conducts an annual census of foreign students on U.S.
campuses, an activity that receives partial support from the Department of
State and partial support from contributed funds. These statistics have
been published each year as Open Doors, the only comprehensive compilation of data available on international exchange with the United States.

HE distributed more than 55,000 publications in 1975/6—half
of them free. HE publications serve as basic references on international
exchange. In a field as varied and dispersed as international education has
become, it is difficult for the prospective exchange student to assemble the
information he needs to make good choices, or even to know what is
available to him. HE has sought to fill that gap by producing both comprehensive reference works and specialized study guides—and by giving
them the widest possible distribution.
In the last few years, HE has begun to computerize the data
included in its major publications. This process will permit HE to update the
publications with greater ease and frequency. In Study in Europe and
Study in the American Republics Area, the first two volumes of the
Handbook on International Study for U.S. Nationals, the computer
made it possible to introduce a field-of-study guide and an index that lists
institutions with their major fields. These features make more information
available, and make it more readily retrievable by the user of these standard works on study abroad.
HE prepares specialized study guides as demand emerges.
Teaching Abroad, updated in 1975/6, is a reliable source of facts for U.S.
teachers on a subject about which there is both much interest and much
misinformation. Another study guide is Fields of Study at U.S. Colleges
and Universities, which fills a real need for information abroad about the
complexities of U.S. higher education. Equally responsive to current needs
on the part of U.S. students is the recently reissued Guide to Foreign
Medical Schools. In response to U.S. students' continuing interest in
study abroad, each year HE updates its two guides, U.S. CollegeSponsored Programs Abroad: Academic Year and Summer Study
Abroad.
A list of all current HE publications is available, with information
on how to order them. (See inside back cover.)
NEWSLETTERS
HE recently began publication of two special-audience newsletters. Update/Study Abroad, which is sent to IIE's Educational Associates,
meets informational needs of study abroad advisers on U.S. campuses. It is
published ten times each academic year. The Southeastern Asia Quarterly Report provides news on educational developments throughout that
region. It has proven particularly valuable to educators within the region
itself, who often have little access to news of their neighboring nations
related to education, as well as to admissions officers in the United States.
HE reports..., a newsletter for all HE audiences, is sent four
times each academic year to 15,000 professionals and others active in
international exchange. It reports developments both at HE and in the
larger world of educational exchange.
HE began a major reorientation of the census in 1973/4 in order
to increase its usefulness as a research tool. HE had been concerned for
several years with a chronic problem of underreporting and nonreporting
of foreign students by colleges and universities. To solve this problem, HE
instituted procedures which simplified reporting. The effectiveness of these
new procedures is indicated by results of the 1975/6 census, which
recorded more than 264,000 international students on U.S. campuses.
This number is 44,000 above that recorded for the previous year, and
much of the difference is accounted for by the substantial improvement in
response.
Data on exchange students will be made available to the many
agencies and individuals who depend on HE for this information as soon as
it is analyzed and organized for publication. HE has joined with the National
Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA) and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) in
developing the project, which is being implemented over several years.
Making Cooperation A Reality
Planning For The Future
REGIONAL AND OVERSEAS OFFICES
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
IIE's field offices permit the Institute to function as a truly national
and international organization. They offer the range of HE services throughout the United States and the major developing regions of the world. HE
overseas offices are located in Nairobi, Mexico City, Hong Kong, and
Lima—with branches in Bangkok and Santiago, Chile. The South American
offices are supervised by the Institute's South American Area Director.
All overseas offices focus on counseling and assisting the foreign
student, and on providing services to the U.S. admissions community. The
work of these offices is described in much greater detail in the "Around the
World" section of this report.
HE regional offices are located in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco {branch office), and Washington, DC.
These offices play a parallel role to that of the overseas offices in providing
information to the U.S. student on exchange programs. They supervise the
academic work of IIE-related foreign students in their areas, and offer a wide
range of other services outlined more fully in the "Across the Nation" portion
of this report.
HE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
One direct means of making cooperation a reality is by matching
student with school. Through overseas selection committees, HE each year
identifies a group of particularly well-qualified foreign undergraduates. It
then seeks to arrange suitable academic placement and financial aid for these
students at U.S. colleges and universities that wish to receive international
students. This activity, the HE Student Program, helped 201 young men
and women from 17 countries during 1975/6.
Since 1970, IIE/Hong Kong has offered the Direct Placement
Program in cooperation with a group of U.S. higher educational institutions.
The project is designed to assist highly qualified undergraduates from the
Crown Colony in need of financial help. HE Direct Placement Scholarships
have assisted 119 students over the past ten years with financial aid in the
vicinity of $1,000,000. The program has received substantial donations from
within the Hong Kong community itself, notably from the S.H. Ho Foundation and the American University Club.
REPORTS ON FOREIGN EDUCATION
To assist U.S. admissions offices in the difficult job of evaluating
the credentials of applicants from foreign institutions, HE offers the Reports
on Foreign Education. These profiles of secondary schools, colleges, and
universities provide information and statistical data in a concise format. They
help make it possible for a candidate for admission to be evaluated in the
context of his prior schooling, and thus ease the job of the admissions officer.
APPLICANT INFORMATION SERVICE
HE overseas offices and consultants in 24 nations conduct interviews on behalf of U.S. higher educational institutions, enabling these
schools to better evaluate exchange student qualifications. The Applicant
Information Service provides a written report on each student, covering
academic qualifications, English language competence, financial resources,
scholastic motivation, health, and personality. HE interviewers will gather
additional data beyond that required in the standard report in order to meet
the needs of admissions officers for special information about applicants,
thus individualizing the service and making it as flexible as possible. In
1975/6, 253 interviews were conducted by IIE interviewers in Africa, Asia,
and Latin America.
Former Senator J. William Fulbright acted as IIE's Special Representative during the year. The Office was heavily involved both in the
preparation and follow-up phases of the Senator's travels abroad, and,
among other actions, is currently negotiating with several ministries in regard
to educational development program proposals which emerged as a result of
the Senator's activities on behalf of increased international exchange.
An important priority for the Office was the development of closer
ties with U.S. corporations. One consequence of this activity during the year
was the inauguration of the Chase Manhattan Bank Fellowships, a notable
example of corporate/governmental cooperation in which Chase provides
supplementary awards to international students awarded grants under the
Mutual Educational Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) Program of the Department
of State.
The Office of Planning and Program Development has cooperated closely with the Institute's Washington office in expanding the scope of
IIE's activities on behalf of the U.S. Government and the major development
banks. An immediate result has been a two-year assignment from the
Agency for International Development to recruit U.S. citizens for sixty or
more teaching positions and other senior-level jobs in Africa, largely in
agricultural fields. IIE will also provide administrative services to the successful candidates during their tours overseas.
The Office is concerned with evaluating existing programs as well
as developing new ones. During the year it completed the third in a series of
evaluation reports on U.S. graduate students studying abroad under Department of State auspices.
Although in some cases the Institute can recoup its program
development expenses from a sponsor, such funds do not in fact cover a high
proportion of the Office's expenses. Yet without the Office of Planning and
Program Development, the Institute would lack the means to coordinate its
resources, to analyze large amounts of data, and to put together effective
programs as a result. In a rapidly-changing environment these functions of
the Institute are critical. The Office of Planning and Program Development
serves to insure the continued relevance and responsiveness of IIE to the
needs of education.
Focusing Attention on Educational
Development
INTERNATIONAL COUNCILS ON HIGHER EDUCATION
The International Councils (ICHE) focus needed attention on
problems of education and development. Their meetings bring together
policymakers in higher education from the United States with their counterparts in the developing regions of the world. It is perhaps equally
important that these conferences bring together educators from within
those regions, who thus have the chance to share views on what are in
many cases very similar problems in mass education, training for national
development, planning effective research programs, etc.
There are three councils—in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The Council on Higher Education in the American Republics
(CHEAR), provided the model on which the others have been organized.
CHEAR's membership consists of U.S. university presidents and rectors of
Latin American universities. Participants are rotated on a regular basis to
broaden the program's impact and to introduce new perspectives into the
discussions. Specialists participate in sessions related to their areas of
expertise. Through a program of conferences, seminars, workshops, and
publications carried out since 1958, CHEAR has focused attention on
major problems of university teaching, research, and administration and
has stimulated specific projects directed toward their solution.
During the past year ICHE conferences were held in Kuwait,
Brazil, and Japan.
Kuwait. A small planning meeting was held at the University
of Kuwait in January, 1976, to explore ways to increase contact between
educational leaders from the United States and the Arab world. Six toplevel American educators were joined by university leaders from Egypt,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the Sudan. Discussions focused on the
need to develop new forms of interuniversity cooperation, with particular
attention given to scientific and technical fields. The planning conference
will be followed by a larger meeting to be held at the University of
Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in 1977.
Financial support for the Kuwait conference was provided by a
grant from the IBM World Trade Corporation and on-the-scene assistance
by the Government of Kuwait.
Brazil. Forty-five educational leaders representing 23 universities in nine countries of the Western Hemisphere participated in the 1976
CHEAR conference, held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Participants included
representatives of the Venezuelan and Brazilian education ministries, the
Inter-American Development Bank and the Ford, Chagas, and Pinheiro
Foundations. Discussion centered on interrelationships between higher
education and development, policies on access to education and changes
in approaches to higher education management.
Conference funding was provided by the Tinker Foundation of
New York, with supplementary assistance from the Ministry of Education
and Culture of Brazil.
Japan. The 1976 meeting of the Council on Higher Education
in Asia broughttogether 31 educational leaders from the United States and
eight Asian nations in Hokkaido, Japan, to discuss the internationalization
of the Japanese higher educational system and the role of the university in
Japan's intellectual and cultural outreach.
A grant from the Henry Luce Foundation in New York has
provided the basic funding for this series of conferences, which in 1976
was supplemented by support from a wide variety of sources in Japan.
To bring fresh information to its audience, HE initiated a new
series of papers in 1974/5. Thus far eight papers in the Issues in International Education series have been published, all drawn from materials
prepared for ICHE conferences.
Although IIE has been fortunate to have the continued support
of several funding agencies for this series of conferences, notably the
Tinker and Luce Foundations, the Institute has for a number of years
covered much of the continuing administrative cost of the program from
general contributions revenue and other income.

IIE Programs
Foreign Students
Foreign student programs formed the largest concentration of
sponsored projects—in terms of numbers of grantees (7,568), numbers of
programs (126), and diversity of services provided. IIE's 6,698 full-year
students were pursuing graduate and undergraduate programs in roughly
equal proportions in 1975/6—a marked change from earlier years in which
the proportion of graduate students often approached ninety percent. This
shift in the ratio of graduate to undergraduate students was largely the
result of the influx of younger students through the Venezuelan Government and Libyan corporate programs.
An overwhelming majority of IIE's international students are
citizens of less-developed nations. Their choices of fields of study reflect
the critical needs of the nations from which they come. Many pursue
studies in agriculture, education, science and technology, social sciences,
public and business administration, and paraprofessional fields. A large
number of graduate students will return to responsible positions in the
universities or governments of their home countries upon completion of
advanced degrees in the United States.
s,
Sponsored programs' assisted 9,858 men and women from 126
nations during the 1975/6 academic year. 2
IIE's two largest programs were the Venezuelan Government
Program—the Programa de Becas Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho—and the
Mutual Educational Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) Program of the Department of State. IIE joined in celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program this year. The Institute's long involvement in administering
the U.S. and ( foreign student portion of the Program is discussed in a
special section of the Annual Report (Toward an Enlightened Foreign
Policy: Thirty Years with the Fulbright Program).
In recent years a high proportion of the Institute's sponsored
projects have met needs of the less-developed nations for education and
research. These nations were the focus of 229 of the Institute's 294
sponsored projects, including virtually all of the 168 programs sponsored
by the Ford Foundation and its grantee institutions. The less-developed
countries also represented a major focus of such global efforts as the
Mutual Educational Exchange Program.
HE aided 6,798 men and women through projects related to the
less-developed world during 1975/6. It helped 2,438 people through
programs with an exclusive focus on the industrialized nations and 622
individuals through projects that did not focus exclusively on either the
industrial or the developing world.
Sponsored projects fell into five major groups: (1) U.S. student,
(2) foreign student, (3) leaders and specialists, (4) technical assistance, and
(5) purchasing programs. They varied enormously in size. Some projects
supported one grantee. The Mutual Educational Exchange Program aided
over 2,000 U.S. and foreign students, while the Programa de Becas Gran
Mariscal de Ayacucho provided scholarships for over 3,000 young Venezuelans.
U.S. Students
IIE's major effort on behalf of U.S. students continues to be the
screening of applicants for Mutual Educational Exchange Program Fellowships and other grants for graduate study abroad.
IIE screened 3,633 candidates for 630 fellowships during
1975/6. To recommend candidates for these awards the Institute assembled a 142-member National Screening Committee composed of distinguished educators and professionals in the visual and performing arts. The
Institute was aided in recruiting applicants by its network of over 1,400
campus Fulbright Program Advisers.
In most cases, IIE's formal responsibility to candidates ends with
its recommendations to sponsors, who reserve final decisions on the
awarding of grants. However, the Institute serves as the major source of
information to all candidates throughout the grant process.
IIE administered two special programs for U.S. students. They
were the annual admissions competition for the British Universities Summer Schools and the 1976 U.S. auditions for the Royal Academy of
Dramatic Arts, London.

VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT PROGRAM
ACADEMIC PLACEMENT
The Institute provided placement services to some 1,800 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate candidates seeking to enter U.S. colleges
and universities during the year. Depending on the program, IIE tailors
services to include publicity, screening, candidate selection, and counseling overseas; credential evaluation and matching of students with study
programs and financial aid opportunities in U.S. colleges, universities, and
technical schools; and confirmation of all arrangements prior to the beginning of academic work. The Institute sought financial aid from U.S. sources
for roughly thirty percent of the students assisted. IIE also arranged remedial programs for many undergraduate students to help them to overcome
gaps in academic preparation before entering U.S. colleges and universities.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND ORIENTATION
IIE arranged long-term English language study for 1,800 students during 1975/6. Eighty percent of these young men and women were
Venezuelan Government Program scholars, the majority of whom required nearly a year of English language study before beginning formal
academic work in colleges and universities. The Institute also arranged
short-term English language and orientation programs for 770 additional
students, ninety percent of them Mutual Educational Exchange Program
grantees.
The Programa de Becas Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho of the
Government of Venezuela—the GMA Program, for short—reached the
status of IIE's largest program during 1975/6. At the end of the program's
second year, 3,290 GMA students were enrolled in English language
centers, colleges, and universities throughout the country. This number
included 103 Venezuelan students whom IIE was asked to re-place in U.S.
schools after their university in Mexico was closed by a strike.
The first large group of students completed English language
training and moved into regular academic programs during the 1975/6
academic year. By the end of June, 2,468 GMA students were in academic
status. In seeking the most appropriate educational arrangements for
Venezuelan students, IIE turned frequently to community and junior colleges and to schools with a two-to-three year pre-engineering curriculum.
Once students placed in these programs complete preparatory courses in
their fields, IIE arranges their transfer to a four-year institution in which
they can complete the bachelor's degree.
U.S. institutions have been uniformly cooperative with IIE and
responsive to the special needs and problems of this complex, rapidly
expanding program. IIE has also enjoyed close working relationships with
the Fundacion Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho—the independent foundation
established by the Venezuelan Government to manage its worldwide
scholarship program—and its representatives in the United States. The
Foundation's President, Professor Ruth Lerner de Almea, visited IIE during the year for intensive discussions of this program of education for
national development.
FORD FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
Seventy-six of IIE's 126 foreign student programs were sponsored by either the Ford Foundation or the Foundation's grantee universities and public agencies in the less-developed nations. The majority of
these programs were small in terms of the number of individuals involved,
although the Latin American Graduate Fellowships program was an exception. This project alone assisted 176 men and women in 1975/6.
The typical Ford Foundation program aids a university department or government ministry to develop its staff through advanced training
in the United States or a third country. The largest proportion of these men
and women are in the United States to complete a doctorate, and will
return to faculty positions to teach and perform research upon receipt of
their degree. Fields of study are those particularly important to national
and institutional development, e.g., fields and subfields in science and
agriculture, management and economic development, education and
health. Altogether Ford assisted 626 students through IIE-administered
programs in 1975/6.
CORPORATE PROGRAMS
Fellowship programs of multinational corporations aided 441
foreign students (and 34 U.S. students) in 1975/6. IIE's 27 corporate
sponsors included such firms as ITT, IBM. American Express, General
Electric, Goodyear, Tenneco, Chase Manhattan Bank, Exxon, Amoco,
and Phillips Petroleum.
IIE's corporate programs vary widely. For example, a new and
interesting IBM World Trade Corporation-sponsored program trains scientists in the interpretation of data from the Earth Resources Technology
Satellite. IBM also provided support for the Institute's recent Kuwait conference, which brought together university presidents and other representatives of higher education from the United States and the Arab world for
the first time since the 1967 war. A third new program was sponsored by
A special Department of State grant assisted students who are
supporting the costs of U.S. education through their private resources by
providing tuition assistance for attendance at 18 pre-academic English
language and orientation programs. Four hundred forty-one foreign students were aided in this way.
A special grant from the Department also permitted IIE to provide funds for foreign student enrichment programs to professional groups
and organizations. Funds were used to cover the costs of participation of
self-funded foreign students in meetings, conferences, and other activities
that furthered their professional development. In the last year, 126 students took part in events organized by eleven agencies.
The Governments of Venezuela and of the United States were
IIE's two largest sponsors of foreign students. The U.S. Government's
Mutual Educational Exchange Program, which assisted 1,968 foreign
students during the academic year, is described in a special section of the
Annual Report.

During the year, the Institute was pleased to begin a new program of exchanges in the arts with France and Germany. These fellowships
will be supported by a grant of funds from the Annette Kade Endowment
Fund in memory of Max Kade.
the Chase Manhattan Bank, and provided supplementary fellowships to
Mutual Educational Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) grantees from eleven
countries, materially extending available funds for the U.S. Government's
exchange program in a notable example of corporate-governmental
cooperation toward a positive educational goal.
The programs of other sponsors are equally varied. Most fall
into three categories—employee development, employee relations, and
community relations programs. The largest number provide education or
technical training for employees and young trainees. Prominent among
these employee development projects are several funded by petroleum
companies active in Libya—Oasis, Occidental, and Umm al-Jawaby Petroleum. These three projects have grown rapidly in a short period of time. At
the end of the 1975/6 academic year, they were supporting 178 students.
Most of these young Libyans were pursuing undergraduate or technical
study in fields related to the petroleum industry.
Another type of program provides scholarships for children of
overseas employees of U.S. firms, permitting these companies to offer
benefits abroad parallel to those they offer at home. American Express and
the Starr Foundation of the American International group of insurance
companies sponsor this type of employee relations program.
The ITT International Fellowships represent the best example of
a corporate community relations program. ITT sponsors the largest bilateral exchange program ever funded by a U.S.-based corporation. It offers
approximately 30 awards to U.S. students and 30 awards to foreign
students from a similar number of countries each year.
The ITT Corporation supports the program in the belief that it is
appropriate and important for a global corporation to help to develop an
internationally educated citizenry—a citizenry able to understand and
cope with the complexity of an interdependent global society. In pursuit of
that goal, ITT has convened Assemblies of its Fellows each year in several
countries, at which seminars and other special programs enrich the international dimension of the ITT Fellowship year.
Technical Assistance
Researchers and advisers on HE-related technical assistance
projects apply their skills to the solution of the critical problems of the
developing world. IIE offers administrative services to the expanding
group of "Green Revolution" centers, which seek to increase world food
production, and to projects in economic development, urban planning,
aquaculture, and many other fields. During the year, 583 men and women
were working on 43 IIE-related projects in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and
the United States, a fifteen percent increase over 1974/5.
IIE's central technical assistance effort continued to be its administrative support of the ten international institutes of agriculture, the
"Green Revolution" agricultural development research facilities which are
funded by a group of governments, foundations, and development banks.
IIE provided services to 438 employees of the institutes, an increase of 106
employees over the previous year, as the centers continued their rapid
expansion.
Thirty additional projects were sponsored by the Harvard Institute for International Development (economic planning and development), the Ford Foundation (varied fields), the Agency for International
Development and the Government of Korea (agriculture), and the University of California (demography).
New projects included the International Center for Living
Aquatic Resource Management in Hawaii. This project, the first "Blue
Revolution" centertojoin the IIE-related "Green Revolution" centers, will
engage in research related to fisheries development. It will relocate in the
Philippines in the near future, and is receiving initial funding from the
Rockefeller Foundation.
IIE will also provide administrative services to a second project
receiving its start-up funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, the International Agricultural Development Service in New York City. The Service
has been established to assist developing nations in accelerating agricultural production and rural growth. It will arrange professional consultation;
train managerial, scientific, and technical personnel; provide logistic services to national agricultural development programs; and carry out numerous other activities related to agricultural development.
Toward the end of the year, IIE signed a contract with the
Agency for International Development to recruit over 65 specialists for
assignments in Africa and to provide administrative services to them for the
duration of their employment with African governments and other institutions.
Services to technical assistance programs included personnel
and financial administration; recruitment of specialists; arrangement of
travel and shipping; academic placement and supervision of projectrelated students; and the purchasing of instructional materials, equipment
and publications.
This last activity assisted 60 institutions, 53 of which were grantee institutions of the Ford Foundation largely concentrated on the Indian
subcontinent. IIE also purchased instructional and research equipment for
six of the international institutes of agriculture and for the West African Rice
Development Association. The dollar value of the laboratory and office
equipment; vehicles, farm machinery, and construction materials; books,
publications, and office supplies; audiovisual and reproduction equipment; vaccines and health supplies purchased in 1975/6 exceeded $3
million.
Leaders and Specialists
The U.S. Government and private organizations bring many
distinguished foreign nationals to the United States each year for travel and
study. IIE administered 33 programs that assisted 825 foreign "leaders and
specialists" in 1975/6. Project activity varied greatly in length and complexity, ranging from conference participation to long-term research or
practical training. Despite this diversity, all such programs shared some
common features. They assisted senior professionals, typically through
study and research activities not related to achieving an academic degree,
and were intended to further professional development.
IIE is one of several agencies active in the administration of the
International Visitors Program of the Department of State. IIE arranged
programs in the United States for 523 International Visitors in 1975/6, a
twenty percent increase over the preceding year. These senior visitors from
101 foreign lands were invited to participate in the program by U.S.
diplomatic posts. They spent an average of one month in the United
States, strengthening their knowledge of U.S. society and pursuing professional interests. Although most International Visitors followed
individually-arranged itineraries, 112 came as participants in special multiregional projects in energy technology, energy economics, urban growth
and land use, urban government, rural and community development, food
systems, adult education and international investment.
IIE assisted 302 additional leaders and specialists during 1975/
6, largely through Ford Foundation and UNESCO-related programs. The
majority of these individuals were from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The Institute administered several special projects in the arts.
Notable among them was the International Music Competitions Project of
the Department of State, through which the Office of International Arts
Affairs provided IIE with funds to offer travel grants to young U.S. musicians so that they could perform in major competitions abroad. The Kress
Foundation Art History Fellowships for doctoral thesis research in European institutions and the Cintas Foundation Fellowships for creative artists
of Cuban descent were also important projects of the Institute in the arts.

Toward An Enlightened Foreign Policy:
Thirty Years with the Fulbright Program
A Celebration and an Assessment
In 1975, the Board of Foreign Scholarships, a committee of
distinguished citizens appointed by the President of the United States to
supervise the international educational exchanges administered by the U.S.
Government, began planning its Bicentennial project: a celebration of the
Fulbright Program's thirtieth anniversary. The project was designed not just
to commemorate, but also to provide a means for a comprehensive assessment of America's efforts in international exchange.
The Board requested that the Institute of International Education
assist in administering this special project. IIE has, of course, been instrumental in the administration of the Fulbright Program since its inception thirty
years ago.
The Board decided to bring together the men and women from
the United States and elsewhere who know the Fulbright Program best:
Fulbright alumni, who by now include hundreds of individuals who have
distinguished themselves in the universities and in public life. This "strategic
survey," to use the words of James H. Billington, Director of the Woodrow
Wilson International Center for Scholars and a former Board member,
would be the first attempt in the history of the program to have a substantial
number of Fulbrighters share their experiences and their views with each
other and with other distinguished observers.
The Bicentennial project was given the title, 'international Education: Link for Human Understanding." At ten one-day regional conferences
hosted by universities and colleges throughout the nation, and during a
three-day convocation at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.,
250 scholars, statesmen, and other concerned individuals from thirty-three
countries assembled to discuss the future of international exchange. Issues in
international education were addressed from the perspective of representatives of the arts and humanities, science and technology, the social sciences,
public affairs and the media. A report on their deliberations has been
published under the title, A Process of Global Enlightenment.
It was universally concluded that the Fulbright Program is representative of much of the best in America: an emphasis on the importance of
the development of the individual; high standards of scholarship; the principle that free academic inquiry knows no national boundaries; and a willingness to share our wealth of educational resources with the people of other
nations.
Many recommendations for the future were made during the
course of these meetings. One of them was that a Fulbright alumni association be formed. It has since been established, and its prospective members
are a notable group. Alumni of the first three years of the program alone
include Joseph Heller, Herbert Gold, Norman Podhoretz, Daniel Boorstin,
Wassily Leontief, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a half dozen university presidents and two Nobel Prize winners in physics. Later grantees have been
equally distinguished.
Ahng with the Marshall Plan, the Fulbright Program is one of the
really generous and imaginative things that has been done in the
world since World War II.l
G
congress established the Fulbright Program2 just thirty years ago.
To date, it has enabled 40,000 U.S. citizens to teach and study in other
nations, and 74,000 scholars and leaders from 122 countries to teach and
study in the United States.
The Fulbright Program has been a form of quiet diplomacy,
demonstrating to a worldwide audience the commitment of the United States
to an ideal of peaceful cooperation. It has immeasurably enriched the lives of
thousands of young people, has brought some of the world's finest minds to
U.S. campuses, and has offered the future leaders of dozens of foreign
nations an insight into what is best about our society.
The Marshall Plan's goal was to rebuild Europe. The Fulbright
Program has a broader, longer-range goal: to build understanding between
peoples in order that there may be a more peaceful world community.
1. Arnold Toynbee.
2 The program is more formally known as the Mutual Educational Exchange Program. Its commonly
used name, the Fulbright Program, is used (or brevity in this special section.
19
The Fulbright exchange is an expansive concept founded on a global vision. It has grown to meet new realities.
A program which once promoted the solidarity of the West...
How the Program Began
How the Program Works Today
The originating legislation for the Fulbright Program reflected
both the idealism and the practicality of its sponsor, then a freshman Senator
from Arkansas. When the Second World War ended, the United States had
an immense accumulation of surplus property in foreign countries. In selling
this materiel to foreign governments, the United States accepted what were,
in effect, IOUs. Senator Fulbright's bill called for the use of part of the
proceeds to enable Americans to travel to other nations and to learn and
understand more about them and to enable citizens of those countries to
come to the United States for similar purposes.
Over the years, as the pool of foreign credits diminished and the
program expanded in scope, new financing arrangements were made and
new legislation supplemented the original act. The most recent and comprehensive of the bills having to do with the program, the Mutual Educational
and Cultural Exchange Act co-sponsored by Senator Fulbright and Representative Wayne L. Hays in 1961, consolidated all previous laws and added
new features to the program, such as the promotion of American studies
overseas and of foreign area and language studies in the United States.
The Fulbright Program has had such a measure of success abroad
that twenty-two nations now share a portion of its costs. The Federal Republic of Germany, for example, contributes seventy-five percent of program
funds for that country, and six other countries contribute as much as fifty
percent.
Senator Fulbright—whose work on behalf of international exchange as IIE Special Representative during the year is described elsewhere
in the Annual Report—served as Chairman of the Advisory Committee for
the Bicentennial project and was a major speaker at the Washington convocation. His remarks underscored the importance, in today's uncertain international environment, of the program that he fathered thirty years ago:
During 1975, the most recent year for which complete statistics
are available, the Fulbright Program provided awards for 4,776 men and
women. Grants were offered to U.S. and foreign students, lecturers, researchers and teachers through the U.S. Department of State portion of the
program, and for foreign area and language training through the U.S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Weshould consider transnational educational exchange notsolely . . . as an intellectual or academic experience but as the most
effective means (in the words of Albert Einstein) "to deliver
mankind from the menace of war." . . . Over a period of time the
massive exchange of present and future generations of men and
women will cause the present differences in ideologies and cultures to be recognized as less significant to people than their
common humanity and their need to live in peace with their
fellowmen.
In view of the current low estate of the United Nations, you may
think this suggestion whimsical, but are we to accept the inevitability of nuclear war and do nothing about it? If not educational
exchange, then what better means is there to change the attitudes
of men—what better way is there to break the pattern of recurrent
violence and destruction which all of us have seen in this war-torn
20th Century?3
Overall supervision of the program is the responsibility of the
Board of Foreign Scholarships appointed by the President of the United
States. The two U.S. Government agencies responsible for administration of
the program, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State and the Office of Education of the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, act with the policy guidance of the Board.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs manages exchanges under the Fulbright-Hays Act and other U.S. Government
exchange-of-persons programs, such as the International Visitors Program.
The Bureau contracts with three agencies to assist it in carrying out its
responsibilities for the Fulbright Program: the Institute of International Education, the Council for International Exchange of Scholars of the Conference
Board of Associated Research Councils, and the U.S. Office of Education.

of Foreign Scholarships, November, 1976, pp. 29-30.

community. The commissions' purpose is to administer the educational
exchange program impartially and in keeping with the needs and interests of
each participating country. The commissions work closely with the cooperating agencies in the United States in the day-to-day operation of the program.
In countries which have no commission, the responsibility for
local administration of the Fulbright Program falls upon the cultural affairs
officer provided by the U.S. Information Agency in U.S. Embassies overseas. These officers process grant applications, provide orientation and
supervision to American grantees abroad, and carry on the other business
that makes the exchange process function.
A description of the structure of the program would be incomplete
without mentioning the thousands of individuals on campus and in the
community who contribute their time to the Fulbright Program. Citizen
participation has been one of the most significant factors in the program's
success.
The Institute of International Education is responsible for a
wide variety of activities on behalf of U.S. and foreign Fulbright students at
the predoctoral level. IIE's activities are described in greater detail in later
paragraphs.
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) is
IIE's counterpart on the program at the postdoctoral level. Over one
thousand U.S. and foreign senior lecturers and research scholars are assisted
by this agency each year. CIES is sponsored by the American Council on
Education, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Social Science
Research Council. It is administered by the American Council on Education.
IIE and the Fulbright Program
At its second meeting... the Board adopted a plan for the preliminary selection of grantees and services for them, which with
minor modifications is still in force today. It was based on the
principle of assigning responsibilities for the various categories of
prospective activities to agencies best qualified to handle them.
Thus applicants for student grants to study abroad were to be
considered by the Institute of International Education... The Institute ... had been a pioneer in promoting general, relatively
large-scale educational exchange between the United States and
other countries.4
IIE has worked with the Department of State since the beginnings
of the Fulbright exchanges. In fact, the Institute began work on the Fulbright
Program even before the Department of State succeeded in getting Congress
to appropriate funds for its administration:
The Board of Foreign Scholarships learned, at its third meeting,
that the Institute and the Conference Board could start to work
immediately despite the lack of government funds for the contracts with them. This was possible because of the willingness of
the Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation to
finance their Fulbright work for six months, on the understanding
that the Department of State would assume responsibility for
contractual costs after that time.
The Division of International Education of the Office of Education administers the exchange of some five hundred secondary school
teachers under a working fund arrangement with the Department of State. It
is also directly responsible for the foreign area and language training portion
of the program. Each year some one hundred fifty awards are offered for
dissertation research and faculty research abroad and for foreign curriculum
consultants. In addition, several hundred individuals participate in group
projects abroad which are designed to internationalize U.S. curricula or
strengthen language training.
Overseas the work of the program is carried out by the binational
Commissions and Foundations. Binational commissions have been established in forty-four countries which have executive agreements with the
United States to conduct a program of educational exchange. They are
always bilateral, composed of distinguished national cultural leaders and
educators and Americans from the U.S. Embassy and resident American
This was fortunate, because:
The first wave of applications from students and scholars was
rising to flood tide and programs with several countries had to be
started immediately.5
The pattern of private sector involvement in the Fulbright exchanges has continued to this day, and indeed has been a factor as important
to its continuing success as the Carnegie and Rockefeller grants were to its
first year. During the 1975/6 academic year, an estimated $2.6 million in
financial aid was provided by non-government sources to IIE-related Fulbright grantees.
This sum does not include an estimated $450,000 in professional
services donated to the Program by nearly two hundred educators and other
professionals who serve on the National Screening Committee for U.S.
student awards, on the committees of graduate deans and admissions officers who advise IIE on foreign student matters—and by several hundred
campus Fulbright Program Advisers.

An Oxford don described the Fulbright Program as "the biggest, most significant movement of scholars
across the face of the earth since the fall of Constantinople in 1453." Eric Sevaried, May 18, 1976
These amounts, of course, do not approach the investment of the
U.S. Government in the program each year. They do, however, represent
large continuing commitments by U.S. higher education and the community to the value of the Fulbright Program. In the case of the foreign student
Fulbright Fellowships, for example, IIE seeks financial aid for nine out of ten
Fulbright grantees it seeks to place in U.S. colleges and universities. In the
academic year just past, the Institute succeeded in arranging assistance for
over fifty percent of those placed.
Non-university funding accounted for approximately ten percent
of the assistance offered. Some twenty professional organizations, service
clubs, community groups and special HE endowment funds provide help
through the Institute. Special IIE programs, such as the Chase Manhattan
Fellowships through which the bank provides supplementary fellowships to
Fulbright grantees, also channel resources to the program.
The Fulbright Program is able to attract such support largely
because of the caliber of its students. Throughout its history, the State
Department has kept the program free of political taint or propagandists
purpose. Academic merit has been the single most important criterion for
selection, a policy which has resulted in distinguished alumni—and great
international prestige.
A special State Department grant permitted IIE to offer enrichment opportunities to a number of these students in addition to their formal
academic work. Some two hundred Fulbright Fellows were enabled to
attend professional conferences or pursue other purposes related to their
fields of study through this special cultural enrichment fund during 1975/6.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department
of State—the Federal agency with primary responsibility for educational
exchange—is concerned about all foreign students in the United States, not
just its own Fulbright grantees. As part of this concern, the Bureau has
provided tuition support for a number of students otherwise studying on their
own private resources to attend English language and orientation programs.
Over four hundred students were assisted in this way through IIE during the
year. This activity was one of several IIE-administered projects intended to
assist the self-sponsored foreign student, and funded separately from the
Fulbright Program.
State Department funds were provided through IIE to such organizations as the American Association for the Advancement of Science and
the American Political Science Association in order to assist self-sponsored
foreign students to participate in conferences and meetings related to their
professional interests.
Serving the Foreign Student
Both IIE's U.S. student and foreign student Fulbright activities
operate on an annual cycle. For foreign students, the process begins in their
home countries with application to, and nomination by, selection committees.
Candidates' dossiers are then evaluated by IIE staff, and submitted for consideration to from four to seven institutions simultaneously. The
excellent qualifications of the nominees permit them to compete quite favorably for admission and financial aid. As part of the matching process, each
year IIE surveys most accredited graduate schools in the United States.
During the 1975/6 academic year, well over two hundred universities were
asked to consider foreign student candidates. Some seventy-five percent of
candidates were successfully placed.
The placement process works well only if information is freely
exchanged between IIE, binational commissions and Embassy staff
overseas—and the candidate. Early in the cycle, IIE provides guidelines to
participating countries, which outline new procedures and new developments in U.S. higher education relevant to the selection process. Commissions and posts likewise share their program guidelines with IIE. Later in the
selection process, IIE makes a special effort to insure that candidates have
sufficient information on departmental and program offerings to make good
decisions in regard to offers of admission.
To ease entry into U.S. higher education for successful candidates, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs makes funds available
to IIE to provide English language training and orientation programs. These
programs, which are held during the summer on campuses throughout the
United States, assisted 303 Fulbright grantees in 1975/6. An interesting
special activity, the Janus Experiment, permitted incoming Fulbright students at two centers to meet and talk with Fulbright students about to
complete their exchange experience in the United States. The Janus Experiment provided a useful opportunity for senior students to evaluate their U.S.
academic experiences and to share information about graduate study in the
United States with incoming students.
The Institute supervised 1,968 Fulbright Fellows from 92 nations
during the 1975/6 academic year. The overwhelming majority of these
students seek graduate degrees. Typically, they spend two years or more in
the United States and are supervised by HE throughout their stay. HE works
closely with campus foreign student advisers in carrying out this responsibility.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is concerned that
up-to-date information on U.S. higher education reaches young men and
women overseas who plan to study in the United States. For this reason, the
Bureau has for many years assisted the counseling efforts of IIE offices
overseas. IIE offices abroad are located in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Nairobi,
Mexico City, Lima and Santiago, Chile. They counsel several tens of
thousands of students each year, in addition to their many other activities on
behalf of international education.
The Bureau assists with the efforts of IIE's South American Area
Director, who conducts workshops and seminars, prepares a newsletter, and
otherwise works to strengthen U.S. educational counseling centers and U.S.
educational relations with Latin America.
22
The originating legislation for the Fulbright Program reflected both the idealism and the practicality of its
sponsor, then a freshman Senator from Arkansas.
The Committee also recommends candidates for awards offered
to U.S. students by foreign governments, universities and private donors
through HE. IIE has administered several foreign government programs for
over forty years. Candidates who apply for Fulbright grants are automatically
considered for any other awards available for study in their country of
application, thereby expanding the pool of grants available to them.
Foreign sponsors and private donors provided 254 awards in
1975/6. Eighty-nine foreign government awards were supplemented by
Fulbright travel grants, and thus represented a genuinely bilateral commitment to the value of international education by both governments involved.
The total value of all awards offered by foreign governments and universities
and other donors in 1975/6 was approximately $700,000.
Candidates recommended for Fulbright awards are submitted to
the Board of Foreign Scholarships for approval, and their applications are
then transferred to the binational commissions and posts abroad for review
and academic placement. These agencies are able to arrange suitable
academic placement for a large majority of recommended candidates. In
some cases a student's proposed project proves unfeasible, or academic
affiliations impossible to arrange. In most cases, however, appropriate affiliations can be made, and the successful candidate receives his fellowship for
the next academic year.
Placement of candidates for awards offered by foreign governments, universities and private donors is generally arranged by the granting
agency. In some instances, IIE assumes this responsibility for the sponsor.
IIE's formal responsibility for U.S. student Fulbright candidates
ends with its recommendation to the Board of Foreign Scholarships. However, the Institute serves as the main source of information to student
candidates throughout the grant process, beginning with the application
deadline in early November, continuing through the weeks of National
Screening Committee meetings, and ending with the formal offer of awards
during the spring.
In addition to its many other activities which support international
student exchange and make it more effective, the Bureau cooperates with HE
on the Institute's annual foreign student census. IIE, the National Association
for Foreign Student Affairs and the American Association of Collegiate
Registrars and Admissions Officers co-sponsor the census, which provides
the only source of statistical information on international student exchange
with the United States. The Bureau funds the census itself, while IIE collects
the data and funds its publication, the annual Open Doors.
The Bureau also made possible the publication of a new edition of
English Language and Orientation Programs in the United States. This
book provides a ready reference for students and educational counselors to
several hundred programs administered by U.S. institutions.
Cooperation with the Department
HE administers a portion of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' International Visitors Program, which brings distinguished citizens of other nations to the United States for study, observation and travel.
IIE assisted over five hundred senior visitors during 1975/6. They came to
the United States for periods averaging one month, as individuals and as
participants in group projects dealing with such topics as energy economics
and adult education. The Institute also administers the International Music
Competitions Project for the Bureau, through which travel grants are provided to young American musicians in order that they may participate in
major competitions abroad.
These latter two activities exhaust the range of IIE programs
sponsored by the Department of State, but their enumeration cannot fully
describe the significance of the cooperation of the Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs to IIE. Although the Bureau is one of over ninety sponsors,
the scale and continuity of its support have made the State Department
programs the cornerstone of IIE activity for thirty years. The Fulbright
Program has provided the Institute with its greatest opportunity to serve, one
which we hope to see continue for many years to come.
It continues to be a privilege to work on behalf of the Fulbright
Program, which has been described as the single most successful effort made
by the United States to build international understanding.
Selecting the U.S. Student
Each year a national competition is held to select American students as Fulbright grantees for one year of graduate study abroad. IIE
administers this competition for the Department of State. The Department
offered 376 fellowships for study in 45 nations in 1975/6.
During the summer and fall of each year, HE distributes 35,000
descriptive brochures and 17,000 application forms throughout the nation.
In 1975/6, some 3,600 completed applications were received.
Most candidates are aided in preparing grant applications by their
campus Fulbright Program Adviser. In 1948, HE and the Conference Board
of Associated Research Councils requested that all accredited four-year
colleges and universities in the United States appoint a Fulbright Program
Adviser. The purpose was to insure broad participation by all types of
institutions—not just the major graduate schools and prestigious colleges.
Today some 1,450 Fulbright Program Advisers assist the program. IIE
conducts a series of workshops each year to assist them with their campus
responsibilities.
Completed applications are reviewed by the National Screening
Committee which IIE forms each year. The Committee is composed of
distinguished educators and professionals in the arts. The papers of candidates in academic fields were screened by thirty-two sections of the National
Screening Committee, sitting by country or geographic area, during the
1975/6 competition; fourteen panels, sirring by field, reviewed dossiers of
candidates in the creative and performing arts. All in all, some one-hundredfifty individuals donated from two days to three weeks of their time to the
National Screening Committee.
23
IIE Resources
Foreign Student Advisers
HE works closely with foreign student advisers on U.S. campuses. Although IIE staff is always available to IIE students in working out
the problems of their U.S. educational experience, it is the foreign student
adviser who helps them on a day-to-day basis. The complex task of the
foreign student adviser may extend from academic counseling to assistance with visa regulations to help with personal adjustment.
IIE regional offices play a particularly important role in the
coordination of the Institute's actions with those of the campus adviser. IIE
also works closely with the association of foreign student advisers and
other exchange professionals, the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA), on both the national and regional level.
In Education
Thousands of men and women in U.S. higher education serve
on IIE committees, advise IIE students, participate in IIE programs, and
work for international education in other ways.
IIE Educational Associates
Advisory Committees
Educational Associates are colleges and universities that join
with IIE to work for international exchange. Support from over 500
member institutions enables IIE to provide Educational Associates with
help in carrying out their international student programs. Services include
consultation; the Applicant Information Service and the Reports on
Foreign Education; copies of all IIE publications; and the opportunity to
participate in special programs such as the IIE Direct Placement Program
and the Program of Educational and Technical Cooperation with Latin
American nations. Educational Associates also receive Update/Study
Abroad, a regularly updated manual which contains data on foreign
educational systems, programs for U.S. students overseas, and other
information helpful in assisting U.S. students interested in study overseas.
A list of IIE Educational Associates follows the text.
HE is assisted by two advisory committees—the Advisory
Committee on Admissions and the Council on Graduate Schools
Committee—in working with foreign students. Each group provides its
special expertise to IIE, helping IIE to plan for each successive year of its
foreign student programs and providing current information on U.S. education that is useful both to the Institute and to its cooperating agencies
abroad.
The IIE-NAFSA Liaison Committee also meets periodically to
review the many issues of common concern to the Institute and to the
national association of exchange professionals.
National Screening Committee
In the last year, 142 professionals in academic fields and in the
arts served on the National Screening Committee for U.S. graduate fellowships. National Screening Committee panels review candidates in
academic subjects by country or geographic region. Candidates in the
visual and performing arts are reviewed by field.
Service on a panel may entail reading the applications and
supporting material of up to one hundred candidates in the larger national
competitions, such as those for awards to the United Kingdom or Germany, and can also include interviewing or auditioning candidates in some
competitions. Each member attends a day-long meeting of his panel
during the review weeks for the U.S. student program. Meetings are held in
IIE offices across the United States as part of an effort to ensure broad
geographical and institutional representation on the Committee.
Fulbright Program Advisers
Over 1,400 Fulbright Program advisers assisted IIE in recruiting
candidates for U.S. student awards. These study abroad advisers, who
cooperate with IIE in support of the Mutual Educational Exchange Program and other graduate study programs, represent virtually all four-year
institutions in the United States. Fulbright Program advisers disseminate
information on fellowships to students, counsel on procedures, and transmit completed applications to IIE for review by the National Screening
Committee. Approximately eighty percent of the 3,600 applications for
graduate fellowships received in the competition for 1976/7 awards were
supervised in their preparation by a campus adviser.
In Leadership
Board of Trustees
Trustees establish the broad policy objectives of the Institute.
They advise and guide the staff through Board meetings and committees.
Many Board members assist IIE by speaking and writing on its behalf,
organizing benefits, and representing the Institute before potential contributors and sponsors.
24
The participation of Regional Advisory Board members gives a truly national character to IIE, and insures that
the Institute fully reflects the needs of its regional audiences.
The Board is chaired by Henry H. Fowler, General Partner of
Goldman, Sachs and Company and former Secretary of the Treasury.
Important Board responsibilities are carried out by five standing
committees—the Executive, Finance, Nominating, Audit, and Development and Public Affairs Committees.
Trustees elected to first terms on the Board during 1975/6 were
Ernest L. Boyer, Chancellor, State University of New York, who has more
recently been appointed U.S. Commissioner of Education, and Madeline
H. McWhinney, President, Dale, Elliot and Company, management consultants.
Throughout the United States over 3,000 volunteers worked on
behalf of the Institute. They were invaluable to the Community Hospitality
Program—IIE's national effort to bring foreign students to a clearer understanding of U.S. society through field visits, seminars, homestays, cultural
events and other activities.
Volunteers in Denver and Houston are vital to the international
host agency activities of the regional offices in those cities. The Denver and
Houston offices are official reception centers for distinguished international visitors, and arranged programs for over 1,800 such visitors last
year.
Regional Advisory Boards
Benefits
Over two hundred men and women serve on IIE's Regional
Advisory Boards. They act as counterparts of the national Board of Trustees in each region of the United States. They advise regional staff and work
on behalf of IIE and international exchange in their areas. Members are
educators, professional and business leaders, and other civic-minded individuals who represent a broad spectrum of interests. Their participation
gives a truly national character to HE, and insures that the Institute fully
reflects the needs of its regional audiences. Members of Regional Advisory
Boards are listed at the end of the Annual Report.
An important share of IIE's contributed income is derived from
benefits, which rely heavily on the organizational ability of Trustees, Regional Advisory Board members, and Volunteers for their success.
The most significant such event is the annual Winter Party,
which grossed $102,000 for the Institute in 1975/6. The Party was held on
January 26, 1976, at the Rainbow Room in New York. Mrs. Nelson
Rockefeller served as Honorary Chairman. The large sum of money
realized for the support of the Institute was largely the outcome of the
efforts of an able Executive Committee consisting of IIE Trustees Mrs.
Walker O. Cain, Mrs. Angier Biddle Duke, Mrs. Anastassios Fondaras, Mrs.
Edward Russell, Jr., Honorary Trustee Mrs. Charles W. Engelhard, Mrs.
David R. Hamilton, Mrs. Henry T. Mortimer, and Mrs. George L.
Ohrstrom.
IIE/Houston staged a spectacular benefit this year—A Persian
Festival. The Festival is the first in a series of international events which will
honor a different nation each year. The Empress of Iran Farah Pahlavi was
Honorary Chairman of the Festival. Ardeshir Zahedi, Iranian Ambassador
to the United States, was an honored guest. Mrs. Philip Sayles was chairman of the benefit committee.
IIE/Denver raised $32,000 for the work of the Institute through
its Auction International, which was organized by eighty local volunteers.
Mrs. John Love acted as chairman.
German-American exchange benefits from the work of the
Quadrille Ball Committee of the Germanistic Society of America, which
each year puts together a fundraising event that supports fellowships for
German students at U.S. universities. The Quadrille Ball raised funds for
eight such awards last year.
In the Community
Volunteers
HE Volunteers are essential to many Institute activities—
particularly to those which help students. For example, this year IIE/New
York Volunteers provided home hospitality to foreign students; distributed
several thousand tickets for cultural events and museums to HE students;
staffed IIE libraries; organized student parties and benefits; planned exhibitions; and assisted staff in providing counseling to visitors to IIE headquarters.
25
IIE Across the Nation
Through its membership in the Sao Paulo-Illinois Partners of the
Americas, the office presented an exhibit and seminar on international
exchange at the U.S. Bicentennial Exposition in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
IIE/Chicago continued to serve as a major resource for organizations and individuals seeking information about studying, teaching, and
working abroad.
l l E regional offices supervised nearly 7,000 foreign students at
full-year programs in U.S. higher educational institutions during 1975/6,
working closely with both students and campus advisers.
Regional offices also work with university advisers in counseling
U.S. students on study abroad and participate in the annual schedule of
National Screening Committee meetings for IIE's U.S. student fellowship
competition.
IIE/Denver and IIE/Houston act as official host agencies for international visitors to their cities. They arrange programs for IIE-related foreign
professionals and for international visitors brought to the United States by
many other agencies.
Regional offices are responsible for developing programs that
meet local needs. They convene conferences and participate in professional
meetings, representing their regions and IIE as a whole.
Through these offices IIE maintains essential contact with colleges
and universities across the United States, with other organizations active in
international exchange, and with thousands of individual supporters of
international education. Each regional office is advised by a Regional Advisory Board, the members of which are listed atthe end of the Annual Report.
Regional office activity is coordinated by the Vice President for
Regional Office Services, who is also Director of IIE/Houston.
Rocky Mountain
IIE/Denver supervised the academic programs of 585 foreign
students during the year—a forty percent growth in student caseload.
The Rocky Mountain office's numerous activities on behalf of
exchange students included the 1976 Summer Intern Program, the Economics Institute, and the Denver IIE/Crossroads Program. The Foreign Student
Intern Program, funded by the Gates and Boettcher Foundations and the
O' Fallon Trust of Colorado, placed foreign students in nonprofit agencies
and a corporation for practical experience during the summer term. The
Economics Institute, which IIE sponsored with the University of Colorado,
enrolled 205 students. The Rocky Mountain office arranged visits for Economics Institute students to eleven corporations in the region.

Northeast
Foreign Student Services, an office of IIE headquarters in New
York City, has two major responsibilities. It supervises IIE-related foreign
students in the Northeastern United States, and it coordinates the work of all
regional offices supervising students who are in this country through the
Mutual Educational Exchange Program of the Department of State. The
division was responsible for some 1,300 international students in New
England and the Middle Atlantic states during 1975/6.
Foreign Student Services maintains close contact with the Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the State Department and the binational Fulbright Commissions overseas on policies related to the Mutual
Educational Exchange Program, and is responsible for sharing information
about new policies and procedures and coordinating responses to them.
The IIE/Crossroads Program, a pre-departure seminar for foreign
students, was held in Colorado Springs in collaboration with Colorado
College and the local community. Forty-three participating students met with
media and government representatives, including the Lieutenant Governor
of Colorado. IIE/Denver also sponsored a workshop for foreign student
advisers and admissions officers at Colorado Women's College in collaboration with the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs and the College
Entrance Examination Board.
IIE/Denver assisted U.S. students by convening the regional
panels of IIE's National Screening Committee for U.S. graduate student
fellowships, and counseled over two hundred individuals on study abroad.
The Denver office is the international host agency for the city, and
as such arranged programs for 969 distinguished senior visitors. Activity
included arrangements for eighty international delegates to a conference on
vocational and technical education sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education.
IIE participated in local events connected to both the International
Women's Year and the Bicentennial. The Office was designated Centennial
Ambassador, and served in an advisory capacity at the Board of Foreign
Scholarships-sponsored Bicentennial Conference in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Fulbright Program. This conference was one in a
series of regional conferences and was hosted by the University of Colorado.
Senator Fulbright, original sponsor of the program which bears his name,
spoke at a community luncheon during the year which was sponsored by the
Rocky Mountain Regional Advisory Board.
Midwest
IIE/Chicago supervised over 1,300 foreign students at 200 institutions in its eleven-state region. It published a 36-page Why Study in
Chicago booklet through a grant from the Chicago Sun-Times/Daily News
Charity Trust that was distributed to 150 counseling centers in over 60
countries. The office co-sponsored the first Chicago International Student
Conference as an adjunct to the Chicago World Trade Conference. The
Conference brought together U.S. and foreign international business students and corporate executives of major multinationals.
The Midwest office participated in the selection of U.S. students
for IIE-related graduate fellowships by convening thirty scholars from Midwestern universities who served on National Screening Committee panels. A
campus study abroad advisers workshop was held earlier in the year in
Indianapolis.
26
Through regional offices IIE maintains essential contact with U.S. colleges and universities...and
thousands of individual supporters of international
education.
IIE/Houston hosted National Screening Committee meetings for
U.S. graduate student fellowships during the year, and provided information
and counseling to 2,500 men and women interested in international study.
The Institute's Houston office is very active in community activities related to education and international affairs. The Office cosponsored with the State Department a regional Foreign Policy Conference
and collaborated with other organizations in sponsoring the Houston World
Trade Conference and the Republic of China-U.S. Conference on Investment, Trade and Tourism. The regional director chaired a state-wide meeting of Sister Cities International. The Office also conducted a two-week
Learning Mission for Educational Associates in Latin America. Participating
university staff members learned about educational systems and exchange
activity in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
Trustee and Regional Advisory Board member Kenneth Franzheim established the Franzheim Internships in International Affairs during
1975/6. The internships provide on-the-job training in IIE's Houston office
for graduate students in international relations.
The Institute continued to cooperate closely with the Houston
International Service Committee, a large volunteer group which works with
IIE on the international visitor and student programs.
Southeast
IIE/Atlanta supervised the academic programs of 539 international students, an increase of seventeen percent over the previous year. The
total included 88 students in the United States through the Programs of
Educational and Technical Exchange with Central America, the Caribbean
and South America (PETECA and PETESA). PETECA and PETESA are
two-year programs which provide trained manpower for the developing
nations of Latin America in fields in which there is particular need.

Washington, D.C.
IIE's Washington office administers a portion of the International
Visitors Program of the Department of State. In 1975/6, the office assisted
523 international visitors from 101 countries. These leaders and specialists
spent an average of thirty days in the United States strengthening their
knowledge of U.S. society and institutions and pursuing activities related to
their professional interests. All participants were influential citizens in their
native lands who were invited to visit the United States by the U.S. Government. IIE/Washington also arranged travel and study programs for 14 additional foreign visitors under the auspices of other IIE-administered programs.
The Washington office supervised 375 foreign students during the
academic year, including 115 Chinese Ministry of Defense (Taiwan)
graduate fellows, participants in a program for which IIE/Washington bears
direct administrative responsibility. The office also provided counseling to
1,500 U.S. students interested in study overseas and provided information to
numerous foreign students seeking information on study in the United
States.
Doris H. Chasin
Director, West Coast
IIE's Southeastern office continued its effort to match the growing
needs of Latin America and the Caribbean with the educational resources
found in colleges, universities, and technical institutions in its region. As part
of this concern, IIE/Atlanta is actively involved with the Asociacion
Panamericana de Instituciones de Credito Educativo (APICE), the group of
Latin American educational credit organizations concerned with the direction and finance of education in Central and South America. The Atlanta
office continued its effort to develop ongoing relationships with a broad
range of Southeastern educational institutions, and especially with those
smaller colleges and universities in which interest in international education is
high but resources limited.
West Coast
IIE/Los Angeles, in coordination with its branch office in San
Francisco, supervised over 1,100 international students at 82 colleges and
universities during 1975/6.
IIE/Crossroads, held in Los Angeles, provided thirty homewardbound foreign students with a final opportunity to examine the way of life in
the United States and to exchange views on current international issues.
Students met with public officials and media representatives and visited a
number of projects in minority areas.
A special program was organized for ITT International Fellows
who were completing their studies in the United States. The office also
organized a series of other activities designed to increase international student contact with the community, such as a study visit to a large new hospital
in Los Angeles for foreign students in health-related fields.
As part of its effort on behalf of U.S. students, HE/West Coast
counseled over 1,500 men and women on study abroad during the year.
Southern
In 1975/6, 1,143 international students studied under the supervision of IIE/Houston. The Houston office's foreign student total included
grantees under the Tenneco Thailand, Triton Oil and Gas, and Korean
Ministry of Commerce and Industry Programs, for which the office has
primary responsibility.
The Institute's Southern office arranged programs for 1,027 leaders and specialists as international host agency for Houston, and in its
capacity as protocol agency for the city assisted with the visits of Presidents
Giscard d'Estaing of France, Sadat of Egypt, and AI'Nimery of the Sudan
and King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

IIE Around the World
for undergraduate scholarships offered by U.S. institutions through the IIE
Student Program and coordinated the Institute's Program of Educational
and Technical Exchange with South America (PETESA). PETESA is the
South American sister program of IIE's larger Central American PETECA
project and like PETECA responds to the need for midlevel technical
personnel in Latin America and the lack of Latin American institutions to
train them. Eighteen students were assisted by the PETESA program
during the 1975/6 academic year. In Peru, IIE cooperated with the Instituto Peruano de Fomento Educativo, an educational credit organization,
which extended loans covering up to half the cost of PETESA students'
two-year programs.
1 IE overseas offices in Lima, Nairobi, Hong Kong, and Mexico
City—and their branch offices in Bangkok and Santiago, Chile—
concentrate on helping the foreign student planning to study in the United
States and on filling U.S. colleges' and universities' needs for information
on foreign students and educational systems. IIE's South American Area
Director plays a complementary role in linking U.S. institutions with their
counterparts overseas.
Overseas offices counseled many thousands of students during
the year, and performed other services in the selection, placement, and
orientation of students. Staff members interviewed foreign applicants to
U.S. higher educational institutions through the Applicant Information
Service and continued the Reports on Foreign Education series. Publications, library, and information services reached additional thousands of
individuals interested in U.S. education. The Hong Kong and Nairobi
offices also assisted in the administration of standardized admissions tests
for foreign students applying to schools in the United States.
Using the opportunity offered them by their role as links between education in the United States and abroad, the overseas offices seek
to develop programs which will meet the specific needs of the areas they
serve. They receive financial support from the Department of State's
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and from contributions made
by individuals, corporations, and foundations.
Latin America
SOUTH AMERICAN AREA DIRECTOR
This office is a new concept of overseas representation for the
Institute. The South American Area Director divides time between the
United States and Latin America, and acts as a bridge between education
in the two halves of the hemisphere. The Area Director is particularly
concerned with counseling the foreign student, but is also actively engaged
in other facets of educational exchange.
Virtually every counseling center in South America is experiencing increases in the numbers of students seeking advice about U.S. study.
The development of national training programs in several countries has
provided a new impetus for students to seek information. The counselor's
rote is growing in importance as is their need for up-to-date data on U.S.
education. The Area Director has developed a counselor's newsletter to
help meet this need. The Director visits counseling centers, holds workshops for counseling staff, meets with U.S. and foreign government officials and foundation staffs, supervises the work of IIE/Lima and HE/
Santiago, and in general acts as a catalyst for effective educational exchange.
HE/SANTIAGO
IIE's representative in Chile carries on an extensive counseling
program which helped 1,400 young men and women during 1975/6. The
representative coordinates the screening and selection of candidates for
Fulbright-Hays undergraduate awards in Chile and acts as a liaison with
local institutions and government agencies.
IIE/LIMA
During the year, 3,568 students were counseled by IIE/Lima
staff. The Office has a well-developed program of pre-application orientation meetings. It also collaborates with the Fulbright Commission in organizing special preparatory sessions for the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) to help students planning to come to the United
States.
IIE staff travelled to binational centers in several Peruvian cities
to speak about U.S. education. The Lima office also selected candidates

IIE/MEXICO CITY
East Africa
IIE's newest office responded to a very large volume of requests
during its second year. The Mexican office assisted 23,000 people seeking
information about study in the United States—an average of over one
hundred daily visitors to the counseling center. In addition, IIE/Mexico
responded to over 11,000 telephoned requests. The highest proportion of
inquirers were prospective graduate students who wanted information
about U.S. education in agriculture, business, engineering, and other
fields.
IIE/Mexico has developed a range of Spanish-language publications for use in providing information, with valuable help from the U.S.
Information Service, and has extended its reach in many other ways. A
program of biweekly group counseling programs was begun during
1975/6. Staff made extensive visits to universities, high schools, binational
centers, libraries, and U.S.I.S. offices throughout Mexico. Intensive training sessions for U.S. educational counselors were conducted in outlying
IIE/NAIROBI
IIE's East African office counseled 6,648 men and women on an
individual basis during 1975/6, and aided an additional 1,126 students
through its "postal counseling" program. IIE/Nairobi also aided students
interested in U.S. education by administering a variety of admissions tests
to over 1,100 candidates during the year.
The Office has a productive working relationship with the Kenya
Ministry of Education. The Ministry provides supplemental financial aid
and transportation to Kenyan students for whom HE is able to arrange
academic placement and scholarship assistance in the United States. HE
and the Ministry helped fourteen students in this fashion during 1975/6.
The Nairobi office also conducted 53 student interviews at the request of
U.S. colleges and universities through IIE's Applicant Information Service
and offered an English language testing service.
During the year, IIE/Nairobi was approached by St. Lawrence
University of New York to assist their "Semester in Nairobi" program. The
project provides St. Lawrence's students with opportunities for experimental learning outside the classroom. Two students worked with HE/
Nairobi staff as interns as a part of their learning experience.
Southeast Asia
IIE/HONG KONG
The Hong Kong office served over 30,000 individuals through
its counseling facility during the year. IIE/Hong Kong also assisted students
by offering a pre-departure orientation program to 350 students about to
begin study in the United States, a program co-sponsored by the Crown
Colony's Hang Seng Bank. The Office's English language testing service
offered the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 247 students. IIE also distributed some 9,300 application forms for U.S. admissions tests to Hong Kong students.
IIE/Hong Kong assisted U.S. universities through the Applicant
Information Service, by means of which staff interviewed 191 candidates
for admission to U.S. colleges and universities. The Office also aided U.S.
universities through its Direct Placement Program, which resulted in the
selection of 19 students for scholarships at U.S. institutions in the United
States. Support for the administration of the Direct Placement Program
was received from the S.H. Ho Foundation. The Institute also handled
screening for the East-West Center Scholarships of the University of
Hawaii. Five awards were offered.
The Office in the Crown Colony continued its Southeastern
Asia Quarterly Report. This newsletter covers educational development
in Asia for a wide audience in the United States and in the Asian higher
educational community.
regions of Mexico, and schools and binational centers in Mexico City itself
were supplied with some 21,000 information bulletins and forms related to
U.S. college entrance examinations.
The Mexico City office also sought to help U.S. colleges and
universities by providing information on Mexican education. During the
year, IIE/Mexico began a series of Reports on Foreign Education which
will provide data on Mexican educational institutions to U.S. admissions
offices. The office also participated in a Learning Mission organized by
IIE/Houston, which offered staff of IIE Educational Associate colleges and
universities an opportunity to learn about Latin American education
through on-the-scene contacts.
Former Senator J. William Fulbright visited Mexico City in
March, 1976, as a Special Representative of the Institute. IIE/Mexico
assisted in planning his three-day visit, during which he met with the
President of Mexico, members of the Cabinet and others, in the interests of
promoting U.S.-Mexican educational exchange.
The Mexico City office played an important role in the transfer
of over one hundred Venezuelan GMA students studying in Mexico, who
were moved to U.S. institutions after a strike ended classes at the University of the Americas in Pueblo. The rapid and smooth transfer of this large
group was facilitated by the office's arrangement of travel, orientation, and
visa clearance.
HE/BANGKOK
HE's branch office in Bangkok counseled over 2,500 individuals
in 1975/6. It also played a coordinating role in the administration of several
of the Institute's fellowship programs.

Treasurer's Report
The Institute is pleased to present the report of its financial stewardship in the
statements which follow. This year's report covers the fifteen month period ended
September 30, 1976, reflecting a change in our fiscal year. The accounting principles
and reporting formats are in full conformity with the proposed rules enumerated by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in their February, 1977 draft of
tentative accounting principles and reporting practices for not-for-profit organizations.
We also call your attention to the fact that our auditors, Arthur Andersen and Co., have
again rendered an unqualified report as a result of their audit examination.
The total revenue associated with sponsored programs increased to an all time
high this year reflecting principally the significantly expanded scope of services provided
under the GMA program, as discussed on page 13 . However, the unrestricted income
available to fund the important Institute Services discussed on page 6, actually
declined by approximately $33,000 from the prior period, even though the current
report covers an additional three months. Fortunately, fees earned from all sponsored
programs were able to absorb a significant portion of the increased costs of Institute
Services resulting from inflation, renewed efforts to make these services more effective
and attempts to develop new funding sources. Nevertheless, the Institute's expenses
were $37,000 greater than revenues for the period.
This net loss was funded by the Institute's modest unrestricted fund balance
which totaled $649,999 at year end. The ability to administer programs with a volume in
excess of $73,000,000 with this limited working capital reflects the skill of the Institute's
management. In fact, the Board of Trustees has directed that this fund balance be
retained to permit repairs and replacement of our fixed assets and to provide the
resources necessary for stability during periods between termination of one contract and
the start-up of others. In order to retain the Institute's most valuable asset, its
experienced and dedicated staff, it is essential that funds be available to assure
continuity during these recurring periods of fiscal constraint
In light of the decline in funds available for Institute Services, it is even more
essential this year that the real state of our fiscal affairs be effectively communicated. It
will be impossible to maintain the quality and scope of services which have made the
Institute distinctive as the acknowledged leader in the field of international education
unless this trend is significantly reversed. Accordingly, as you read our financial report, I
suggest that you consider the personal commitment of our staff and our continuing need
for unrestricted contributions to finance those services which make IIE unique.

Auditors' Report
To the Board of Trustees of
Institute of International Education, Inc.:
We have examined the balance sheet of Institute of International
Education, Inc. (a New York not-for-profit corporation) as of
September 30, 1976, and the related statements of support, revenue
and expenses, of functional expenses, of changes in fund balances and
of changes in financial position for the fifteen months then ended. Our
examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present
fairly the financial position of Institute of International Education, Inc.,
as of September 30, 1976, the results of its operations, changes in its
fund balances and the changes in its financial position for the fifteen
months then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

notes to financial statements
September 30, 1976
(1) Accounting policies:
Sponsored
programs income. Income under contracts with sponsors is recorded as related expenses are incurred.
Support received from the public. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as income upon receipt. Donor restricted
support for designated activities is recorded in income as related costs are incurred and are included in sponsored programs
in the financial statements. Grants which are specific as to time of use are reported as support on the first day of the period to
which the time designation applies.
Depreciation. Building and furniture and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives
of fifty years and seven to ten years, respectively. Depreciation expense of $150,621 has been charged to program and
supporting services expenses and $34,276 has been charged to rental and miscellaneous income.
Pension plan. Retirement benefits for substantially all employees are provided through individual annuities with Teachers
Insurance and Annuity Association and College Retirement Equities Fund. The Institute's contribution, which is funded
currently, was approximately $145,000 in 1976.
(2) The Institute:
The Institute develops and administers programs of educational exchange under renegotiable contracts with foundations,
private organizations, governments, colleges, universities and corporations in the United States and abroad. Approximately 11,000 students, teachers, technicians and specialists, representing 126 countries, who study and train through
these programs each year are financially serviced by the New York Headquarters, seven regional offices in the United States
and four overseas offices. The Institute also administers educational assistance to universities and foreign countries,
agricultural research institutes, conferences, seminars and other activities and provides procurement services for certain
agricultural research institutes, on behalf of sponsors.
In addition, through general support, the Institute conducts counseling and information services, issues publications and
conducts conferences, seminars and other special projects which provide assistance to individuals and organizations on
matters of international education.
(3) Tax status:
The Institute is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, has been
classified as an organization which is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) and is qualified for the 50% charitable
contributions deduction.
(4) Endowment fund:
The Institute's endowment funds were restricted by the donors for investment with income to be used for designated
program purposes. Interest and dividend income is credited directly to the respective designated program activities.
46
(5) Change of fiscal year:
During fiscal 1976, the Institute changed its year-end from June 30 to September 30. Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements reflect fifteen months of activity.
(6) Contract termination:
In December, 1976, the contract between the Institute and the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho Foundation ("GMA") to bring
Venezuelan nationals to educational institutions in the United States was amended to extend the contract period to June,
1978, with assumption by GMA of the Institute's functions at specified dates during this phase-out period. Sponsored
services revenue in the accompanying statement of support, revenue and expenses includes approximately $37,000,000
relating to this program for the fifteen months ended September 30, 1976.
(7) Related party transactions:
During fiscal 1976, the Institute maintained its principal accounts for checking and other services at two large commercial
banks in New York City and purchased certificates of deposit from one such bank. The 52 members of the Institute's unpaid
Board of Trustees include two individuals each of whom is an officer of one of such banks. In the opinion of management of
the Institute, the terms of these transactions were no less favorable to the Institute than those that would have been available
from other comparable banking institutions.
(8) Leases:
The statement of support, revenue and expenses includes rental expenses of approximately $ 164,000. The Institute leases
space for its regional and overseas offices on a noncancelable, long-term basis, such agreements expiring at various dates
through 1981. The Institute is liable under the terms of these leases for minimum rentals as follows:
Year
Amount
1977
1978
1979
1980
1981
$119,000
95,000
93,000
80,000
12,000
The liabilities for minimal rental in 1977 and 1978 are net of sublease income of approximately $26,000 and $6,000.
