About the Organization

Protecting threatened and displaced scholars and students has always been at the core of IIE’s mission. From the Bolshevik Revolution to the Hungarian Uprising, IIE has demonstrated a commitment to defending the right to freedom of thought and the pursuit of knowledge. In 2002, IIE’s trustees committed to making scholar rescue a permanent part of the Institute’s work and Dr. Henry Jarecki, Dr. Henry Kaufman, and Mr. Thomas Russo founded IIE-SRF. With IIE now in its second century of assisting scholars in need, it remains dedicated to empowering threatened scholars from any country or field to continue their careers and to preserving national academies threatened by conflict.

About the Fellowship

The Institute of International Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) is the only global program that arranges, funds, and supports fellowships for threatened and displaced scholars at partnering higher education institutions worldwide. These year-long fellowships of USD $25,000 support temporary academic positions at institutions of higher learning anywhere in the world where IIE-SRF fellows can continue their work in safety. In most cases, IIE-SRF fellows are eligible to apply for a second and final year of fellowship support.

Eligibility

IIE-SRF accepts applications from professors, researchers, and public intellectuals who face threats and cannot continue their work in their home countries. Scholars from any country and in any academic field or discipline may qualify. Applicants are assessed based on academic qualifications and experience, the quality and/or potential of their work, and the urgency of the threats that they face.

Preference is given to scholars who:

• hold a Ph.D. or highest degree in their field and have significant teaching and/or research experience at a university, college, or other institution of higher learning;
• have an established record of published research;
• demonstrate superior academic accomplishment or promise;
• are facing or have recently fled from immediate, targeted threats to their lives and/or careers in their home countries or countries of residence;
• will benefit their home and/or host academic communities.

How to Apply

IIE-SRF accepts applications on a rolling basis, and fellowships are awarded quarterly. For a possible decision in March 2025, application materials must be submitted by January 20, 2025.
