Title: Funding Opportunity: 2005 Goldman Sachs Foundation Prizes for Excellence in International Education
Body: From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2005/0322.htm#GOldmanSachs Asia Society and The Goldman Sachs Foundation are pleased to announce the 2005 Goldman Sachs Foundation Prizes for Excellence in International Education, which will award five $25,000 prizes to schools, higher education institutions, states, and media/technology organizations that are working to "put the world into world-class education." While the importance of other world regions to U.S. economic prosperity and social well-being has grown considerably in recent years, young Americans have relatively little knowledge of the larger world they inhabit. In June 2003, The Goldman Sachs Foundation and Asia Society created the awards program, the first ever of its kind, to address this gap by promoting international knowledge and skills in U.S. schools. The program has drawn over 400 applications from 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing the breadth of innovation in this burgeoning field. Past prizewinners have been honored in The New York Times, The Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, and Edutopia, and have been featured in the local and national media.
