The Project GO site is hosted by Georgia Tech. However, the emails to rotc@iie.org reach the Project GO program officer at the Institute of International Education. Questions about specific programs should be emailed to each program's Point of Contact (POC), identified in the program database.

Project GO is a collaborative initiative to prepare students who are commissioning through ROTC for international leadership roles both during and beyond their military careers. Immediate Project GO goals include normalizing among the ROTC population the study of critical languages as well as study abroad to corresponding regions. Organizations involved in this initiative include the National Security Education Program, the Navy, Army, and Air Force ROTC programs, twenty-four U.S. universities, the Defense Language Office, and the Institute of International Education.

We envision a future reserve officers corps comprised of individuals with…

…the experience, networks, and knowledge to provide America with leadership on global involvement.
…the ability to provide global leadership on a wide-range and number of unprecedented international challenges.
…the capacity for innovative, global leadership both during and beyond their military careers.

All of the different organizations involved pool financial and intellectual resources to optimize the quantity and quality of language training and regional experience opportunities available to ROTC students all over the country.

Because Project GO is a collaborative initiative, different organizations and institutions fund different components. As part of Project GO, the National Security Education Program provides institutional grants to U.S. colleges and universities with ROTC programs. However, many of these institutions allocate some of their funding directly to ROTC students in the form of scholarships and stipends. Additionally, each service has or is developing ways to support their ROTC students in components of Project GO programs, such as summer language institutes. Finally, most participating colleges and universities contribute to Project GO in some capacity, including cost sharing.
