IIE Centennial Fellowship

Higher Education for Displaced Peoples

Recognizing that more people are being displaced from their homes at historically high rates, this year the IIE Centennial Fellows’ projects focus on providing pathways to higher education for displaced populations. The 2022-2023 projects are supporting displaced groups throughout the world: Afghans relocated to Tajikistan, displaced people with disabilities in Nepal, young people in an IDP camp in Nigeria, and Ukrainian students whose education has been disrupted. The Fellows will share their work throughout the year through their blogs, and we invite you to learn more about their projects.
