About this book
Reviews
“Imaginatively crafted with inputs by authors with diverse backgrounds and expertise, this book convincingly establishes the changing social function of international scholarships and stimulates future debates on the subject.” (Rwekaza S. Mukandala, Vice Chancellor, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania)
“This volume powerfully demonstrates the many ways scholarship programs can have impact beyond individual scholars. The authors masterfully weave together academic research and case studies of innovative scholarship programs proven to create global leaders, reverse so-called brain drain, and improve society.” (Hilary Pennington, Vice President for Education, Creativity, and Free Expression, The Ford Foundation)
“Higher education is one of the most powerful drivers for innovation in a country. Scholarship programs unlock pathways to social change and innovative approaches to issues of common concern. Study abroad experiences change lives and create new and unexpectedhorizons; this book shows how.” (Hilligje Van’t Land, Secretary General, International Association of Universities)
