The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) will celebrate International Education Week (IEW) from November 13th to 17th, 2017. IEW is an initiative of the U.S. Departments of State and Education that promotes the benefits of international education and exchange programs worldwide. During IEW, AIT will host and participate in many education-related events.
AIT is delighted that Taiwan is one of the top ten sources of international students in the United States and looks forward to continuing to help prospective Taiwan students through our EducationUSA program. EducationUSA provides accurate and comprehensive information on studying in the United States FREE to Taiwan students. The Taiwan EducationUSA Advising Center (www.educationusa.tw) is located at the Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (www.fulbright.org.tw).
The EducationUSA Advising Center, American Spaces in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung, and the American Innovation Center in Taipei will showcase EducationUSA as part of IEW and will have free materials available for interested students. AIT’s social media platforms will also have special IEW content.
