Allowing students to get a broader education sounds good to me. Even if not strictly classroom knowledge, being in a new culture would help them have a better range of experiences. Something that I think many people could use in North America, mean including me.
I'd be jealous I couldn't do it but never to the point I wouldn't want it for newer generations.
Mean of for ruse grants and scholarships sound good too don't get me wrong on that, helping educate is so sorely needed it seems.
