Help Students Impacted by COVID-19 Crisis

IIE has launched a fund of at least $1 million to aid international students caught in the crossfire of the coronavirus pandemic. From our earliest days, IIE has played a central role in helping international students during emergencies. In response to the current unprecedented crisis, IIE will spend $1 million to provide crucial support to up to 300 international students in great need. We aim to raise another $1 million from private donors to double the number of students we can help.
