WHAT IS FIET?

The Foundation for International Education and Training (FIET) is a 501c(3) public non-profit organization in the United States, with a mission to promote international education and training. Originally started as charity efforts of Stanley Prep, an international education provider, FIET has expanded its roles and training programs to serve foreign government officials, trainees, and interns; and to provide valuable services to disadvantaged populations all around the globe.

MEET THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to the Foundation for International Education and Training. As the President and founder of FIET I believe that education is a vital aspect of empowering communities around the world. Our vision of promoting accessible education to those in need is reflected in all that we do. I have spent the past several years developing programs that are designed around this core principle, from providing scholarships to overseas students and hosting training programs for government employees, to building schools for communities in need. No matter the project, it is our goal to make accessible education a reality in every corner of the world. I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn about the work that we do at FIET. Whether you are interested in benefiting from the variety of services we offer, or eager to get involved with our charitable efforts, we look forward to having you join us.
