Supporting international students in times of crisis
The Institute issues calls for applications to the Emergency Student Fund in response to specific emergencies. Since 2010, IIE’s ESF has provided over $1 million in emergency grants to nearly 400 students from Japan, Haiti, Libya, Thailand, Syria, and Iran whose home sources of financial support were impacted by crisis or natural disaster. The Institute seeks to have a fund in place so that IIE can respond quickly to help students when disasters and emergencies arise.
There are currently no Emergency Student Fund efforts open. Future ESF fundining initiatives will be publicized here as they are available. For questions or further information on IIE’s Emergency Student Fund, please contact ESF@iie.org.
