Learn about IEC Accomplishments

Many American students, studying in the U.S. or abroad, depend on student loans to finance their education. Federally supported student loans permit Americans to study at the institution of their choice. The IEC represents and assists institutions of higher education outside of the United States that wish to participate in the U.S. federally supported student loan program.

The International Education Council works with institutions of higher education and their partners, including organizations that provide financing or help with recruitment. Most importantly, IEC understands how international higher education is affected by the policies and actions of the U.S. government, especially policies on student financial assistance.

The International Education Council believes that international friendship and understanding between people of all nationalities is best built on a foundation of personal relationships developed during academic studies - friendships that often remain strong for life.
