What is the International Student Exchange Program?
The International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) is a membership organization of more than 200 higher education institutions around the world that are committed to international exchange. ISEP serves its member institutions and their students by facilitating affordable, university-level exchanges on a reciprocal basis. ISEP was established in 1979, under the authority of the Fulbright-Hayes Act. The program is administered by a central office at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and by the designated coordinator at each member institution. ISEP is supported by member and participant fee, together with a grant from the U.S. Information Agency. ISEP is dedicated to the principle that a period of study abroad ought to be available and affordable to all students, no matter what institution they attend or what their financial situation may be. With ISEP, this is possible because the program is based upon a reciprocal exchange of benefits.
