Title: The Institute of International Education Announces New IIE Graduate Fellowships for International Study with Funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
Body: From http://www.iie.org/Who-We-Are/News-and-Events/Press-Center/Press-Releases/2011/2011-06-28-Launch-Of-IIE-Graduate-Fellowships-For-International-Study.aspx The Institute of International Education (IIE) will administer IIE Graduate Fellowships for International Study beginning July 1, to provide support for PhD dissertation research to approximately 80 doctoral students in the humanities whose funding has been lost due to recent significant reductions in federal spending. A special one-time only grant of $3.16 million from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has enabled IIE to create these fellowships so that talented emerging scholars can conduct research overseas for six to 12 months, with the goal of advancing knowledge, research and teaching in non-western languages and area studies. The IIE Graduate Fellowships will be awarded to students in the humanities, who make up about 80 of the 130 students who had been nominated to receive funding in 2011/12 through the U.S. Department of Education-funded Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program. After the spring 2011 budget cuts, funding for these fellowships was no longer available through the Department of Education.

Title: Article: Title VI Federal Cuts Sting UW's Global-language Classes
Body: From http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015435368_jackson27m.html Federal cuts sting UW's global-language classes By Katherine Long June 26, 2011 For years, the University of Washington's Jackson School of International Studies has taught an ever-changing menu of the hottest languages of the developing world — languages such as Arabic and Urdu, Hindi and Chinese. The school is one of the country's largest recipients of federal funding for less commonly taught languages and international study. But federal cutbacks approved in spring will deal a blow this fall to the school's ability to offer the classes and accompanying studies in global culture, economics and history. "Cuts to this funding would have devastating effects" on the Jackson School, Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell wrote in a strongly worded letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan in May. Despite the Democratic senators' plea, the school will lose about $800,000 in federal money, the result of a congressional budget deal for fiscal 2011 in which lawmakers cut 46 percent of funding for Title VI of the federal Higher Education Act for the upcoming school year.

With candor and humor, the punk rocker, single mother, entrepreneur and married teachers paint a picture of the challenges, dreams and disappointments of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.
