International Student Experience Innovation and Impact Grant
We believe that when our global learners thrive and feel at home, the whole University of Alberta community wins! If your academic or service unit has a bright idea for making the international student experience even better, we invite you to apply now.
In alignment with the Student Excellence Action plan (SEAP) and the broader institutional goals for internationalization, the ISEII grants support initiatives that improve the experience of international students and enhance their retention and completion rates.
The ISEII grant program aims to encourage academic and service units to identify specific challenges faced by international students, test new approaches, and find sustainable funding for proven projects with high-impact results.
Your initiative should focus on boosting at least one of these key areas:
- Academic Experience and Transition
- Career Support
- Community and Belonging
Let's work together to make U of A the school of choice for international students!
The International Student Experience Innovation and Impact Grant (ISEII) grant is set up under the auspices of the Deputy Provost Students and Enrollment portfolio to deliver on the University’s commitment to fostering an exceptional educational journey for all its students, recognizing the vital role and increasing presence of international learners within its diverse community. This commitment is underscored by the institution's strategic emphasis on internationalization, a key component of its overarching vision for impact and global engagement. The University's strategic plans articulate a clear ambition to not only grow its enrolment but to simultaneously enhance the quality of the student experience, thereby acknowledging that a supportive and enriching environment is crucial for attracting and retaining a talented global student body.
