How the Scholar Rescue Fund Works
For more information, please visit the new SRF website www.scholarrescuefund.org
- Academics, scholars and intellectuals from any country and any discipline may apply for fellowships to support temporary visits to institutions in any safe country, in any part of the world.
- The SRF Selection Committee reviews applications and awards 20-40 fellowships annually to scholars whose lives or careers are threatened.
- Fellowships are awarded to host institutions for support of specific individuals to be matched by the host institution.
- Grantee-scholars may continue their work in safety at the host institution—teaching, giving lectures, completing research, publishing their work—throughout the fellowship.
- The Fund's hope is that during the fellowship period conditions in the scholars' home country might improve to allow their safe return; if safe return is not possible, the hope is that the scholars might use the period of the fellowship to identify a longer-term opportunity to continue their important work.
