Public systems and individual universities are piloting coordination strategies and international recruitment initiatives to stabilize enrollments. Michigan’s public universities are exploring shared services, program alignment and joint marketing to reduce duplication and attract students, while National Taiwan University is expanding scholarships and regional partnerships to draw degree‑seeking international graduate students from Southeast Asia. NTU’s Centennial International Graduate Scholarship and NTU–SEARCA partnerships illustrate how targeted funding and regional ties can shift applicant flows. Campus leaders said coordinated recruitment, transparent sustainability commitments and cross‑institution pathways are critical tools as demographic headwinds and geopolitical visa pressures reshape global student mobility.
