Abstract

Government sponsored scholarship programs for global student mobility are only a small part of total flows of international students, but these programs are quite important in several countries. Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and the European Union sponsor programs that provide mobility for many thousands of students. Other countries have smaller programs. This article discusses fiscal, sponsorship, and other key elements of some of these programs.
