PARTNERS

Institutional collaborations

We are particularly proud of our partnership with the University of California Education Abroad Program (UCEAP). Since 2014, this partnership has helped students from all 10 UC campuses to join ISS and earn 12 quarter/8 semester academic credits and inspired similar agreements with other academic institutions.

We have also collaborated with premier institutions including the National University of Singapore, the University of Oxford (Careers Service), the South Asian University, The University of Tokyo, the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, the Royal University of Bhutan, and the University of Adelaide. Moreover, the ISS is a designated Commitment Partner of the Institute of International Education’s Generation Study Abroad initiative.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Beyond academia, ISS has been supported by partners like the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) under the Incredible India banner, the ASEAN Secretariat, the India Bhutan Foundation, and the Department for International Development (DFID) of the UK Government, through the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), among others. These partnerships have helped provide scholarships, visa assistance, and logistical support for students. In the past, the support has taken shape through initiatives like the India-ASEAN Goodwill Scholarships to provide Indian Student Visa fee waivers, expedition of the visa application process and airfare for nationals from specific countries.

With active outreach by diplomatic missions, such as the embassies of Mexico, Romania, Chile, and the High Commission of Seychelles, our cohort continues to be truly global and diverse. Notably, the Mexican Embassy in New Delhi has facilitated access for high-achieving students from across Mexico, ensuring they experience India’s unique academic and cultural offerings.
