Emergency Student Fund For Iranian Students Studying In U.S

Iranian students with urgent financial needs to continue their studies in the United States may receive grants of $2,000.

 The Institute of International Education (IIE) has announced the launch of a new Emergency Student Fund (ESF) to assist students from Iran on U.S. campuses with urgent financial support should they be impacted by crisis or natural disaster in their home countries.

IIE has partnered with the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) to fund this activity,

IIE believes that the grants will need additional donations, and is actively seeking generous  individuals and foundations to help them along the way. Click here to donate.

IIE’s ESF has provided over $1 million to more than 400 students from Syria, Japan, Haiti, Libya, and Thailand .

The additional funding is so the Emergency Student Fund are able to act faster and more efficiently to aid  international students.

At Bearla International Studies we are always in support of any aid offered to international students in times of a crisis. Projects such as this can make a huge difference to a student’s life and education. It is important for international students to feel safe and as though there is help and support for them should something go wrong during their study abroad adventures.

The Emergency Student Fund have proposed that over the next few years they plan to add additional countries to their list of students able to receive aid.
