Powering global engagement through philanthropy

Global engagement is in Indiana University's DNA. From enrolling its first international student in the mid-1800s, to cultivating our 250+ international partnership agreements with universities around the world, to being the , Indiana University is a global institution like no other. With 75,000 international alumni, and 52,000 alumni having studied abroad during their time at ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×, almost 140,000 alumni had an international experience at ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×.

It is no surprise that philanthropy drives our excellence in global engagement: our $20 million bicentennial scholarship campaign sends an additional 400 students abroad each year; the $18 million Ferguson International Center received critical support from gifts by alumni, faculty, and staff; and we continue to attract international students through merit-based scholarships started by some our most prominent international alumni.

You too can play a role in ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×’s continued excellence in international engagement. If you believe crossing borders creates a confidence, resilience and flexibility that staying at home can’t; if you believe that preparing students for a global economy and marketplace is a must have aspect of a 21st century education; if you believe that partnering with excellent international universities, nonprofits, and corporations on global challenges is a boon for Indiana, the United States, and the world: Let’s talk.
