Academic Affiliation

Dear Global Education Colleagues,

CEA Global Education is pleased to introduce you to CEA Academic Affiliation. With a robust Global Education Network spanning 14 countries and 24 cities, CEA continues to expand and improve study abroad opportunities for U.S. students seeking high-quality international education experiences.

The new CEA Academic Affiliate Program offers benefits for all of your campus constituents, including students, faculty, administrators and staff. Your students will benefit from travel grant awards, plus a dedicated scholarship program reserved for the students of Academic Affiliates. You and your colleagues will be eligible for professional development opportunities, including tuition grants, web-based training and seminars, and visiting professorships. The Academic Affiliate Program also offers support for future international programs co-developed by your university (defraying the costs for faculty involvement in such initiatives).

In exchange, CEA asks that Academic Affiliates affirm their commitment to study abroad advocacy and widening student access to international opportunities. In addition, we will continue to look for ways to collaborate on projects including outreach activities, joint research, and curriculum integration.

Whether your institution is new to CEA Global Education or has participated in an affiliate program before, CEA Academic Affiliation can assist you with your internationalization goals. A more detailed explanation of the program’s benefits is included in this brochure. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Shannon.Cates@GoWithCEA.com or 480-375-2802. We look forward to working closely with our CEA Academic Affiliates.

Best regards,

Benefits for Students

CEA Academic Affiliation offers assistance with all aspects of campus internationalization: student access, administrative resources, and staff and faculty development. Benefits for students include:

Student Travel Grants

CEA offers each student of an Academic Affiliate institution a travel grant, to appear on the student’s billing account, as follows:

• $500 per student, per session for year programs

• $250 per student, per session for semester or

trimester programs

• $100 per student, per session for short-term and summer programs

CEA may prohibit the use of Travel Grants in conjunction with Volume Discounts, Custom Programs, and/or other Non-Affiliate direct student promotions.

Student Scholarships

CEA allocates a dedicated pool of scholarship funding specifically for students from Academic Affiliates for Spring and Fall semester programs. These competitive scholarships recognize student achievement in a variety of categories, including academic merit and global citizenship.

Expanded Study Abroad ResourcesCEA recognizes the challenges universities face today as many sources of support for university internationalization and program development have been reduced or eliminated in response to current economic conditions. By complementing your available resources, CEA aims to expand study abroad access to a wider demographic of students preparing to join a changing global marketplace.

Marketing Assistance

CEA offers up to $500 annually in marketing materials to be jointly developed by the Affiliate’s study abroad office and CEA and bear the CEA logo. CEA offers marketing consultations and assistance with identifying opportunities to increase campus awareness of the value of global education.

Support for New Program Development

CEA offers Academic Affiliate institutions a one-time benefit of up to $1,500 for one coach airline ticket for the first jointly developed Custom Program meeting specified minimum enrollment goals. This benefit is intended to defray the costs for faculty/staff involvement in such initiatives.

Professional Development OpportunitiesCEA Academic Affiliation offers a range of support to faculty and staff, including web-based professional development, visiting professorships, a Faculty-in-Residence program, Faculty and Staff Tuition Grants, and Faculty Development Seminars.

Tuition Grants

The Faculty and Staff Tuition Grant program, an innovative professional development opportunity, awards one grant per year to each

Academic Affiliate to allow a member of the university’s faculty or staff to attend a two- or four-week program at one of the CEA Global Campus sites. Affiliates are encouraged to nominate participants from all corners of the campus for this opportunity, which is especially suited to faculty and staff with limited international experience.

Faculty Development Seminars

Faculty Development Seminars take place at our Global Campuses and reflect the disciplinary focus of that particular location, i.e., human rights in Paris, France; interfaith dialogue in Rome, Italy; sustainable development in Madrid, Spain; and, intercultural business communication in Shanghai, China. Seminars are limited in size with preference given to faculty from Academic Affiliates.
