The Honorary Fellows Award was established by the Comparative and International Education Society to honor senior members of the society who have distinguished themselves by the following:

1) their scholarship in the field;

2) their teaching/mentoring, and policy, administrative or technical activities in the field of comparative and international education; and

3) their significant contributions to the development of the CIES and the field by their active participation in its affairs and service to the Society.

Honorary Fellows should have a long and distinguished career spanning more than 30 years.
