Fulbrighters and staff in Gamla Stan, Stockholm
An independent nonprofit founded in 1919, the Institute of International Education (IIE)
is among the world's largest and most experienced international
education and training organizations. IIE administers both the U.S. and
Foreign Graduate Student Programs for students who wish to study and
conduct research both in the U.S. and in countries worldwide. In
addition to university application submissions and placements, they
also provide interactive seminars and personal student services for
foreign students studying in the U.S.
For over 50 years, the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) has helped administer the Fulbright Scholar Program and it is a division of the Institute of International Education (IIE).
CIES maintains deep ties with the U.S. higher education community,
including individual universities and colleges and major scholarly
organizations. CIES assists with Scholar recruitment and works with
U.S. colleges and universities, professional and scholarly associations
and the media to publicize the Fulbright Scholar Program and other CIES
undertakings.
The Fulbright Commission maintains a close relationship with the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. Student visas for Swedish students are administered through the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy and occasionally Fulbright events are held at the U.S. Embassy.
