  ===================================

  Dear Friends,
  Amigos Queridos,
Chers Amis,

  Following please find an announcement concerning new fellowships for 
threatened scholars. Scholars from any country and any field may 
qualify. We invite you to nominate suitable candidates, and ask for 
your help in forwarding the announcement to any academic colleagues who 
may be interested. We are especially eager to identify candidates still 
facing threats in their home country/region, who may not be aware of 
the program. At the same time, we invite participation from 
universities and colleges that might be willing to host fellowship 
recipients. We are especially eager to identify universities and 
colleges outside of the US, especially French, Spanish and Russian 
language institutions.

  Adjunto sírvase encontrar una convocatoria de becas para académicos en 
riesgo. Esta convocatoria abarca académicos de todos los países y todas 
las áreas de especialización. Los invitamos a nominar candidatos con el 
perfil adecuado y les solicitamos compartir este anuncio con colegas 
interesados en el tema. Nos encontramos interesados en identificar 
candidatos que se encuentren en riesgo actual en su país o región de 
origen y que no se hayan enterado del programa. Simultáneamente, 
invitamos la participación de las instituciones académicas dispuestas a 
auspiciar a los beneficiarios de este programa. Estamos especialmente 
interesados en identificar universidades fuera de los Estados Unidos, 
con intereses específicos en instituciones de habla Hispana, Francesa y 
Rusa.

Veuillez trouver ici une annonce au sujet de nouvelles bourses 
destinées aux académiques menacés. Les académiques de n'importe quel 
pays et de tous niveaux d'études peuvent être qualifiés. Nous 
sollicitons votre aide dans la nomination de quelques candidats et 
aussi dans la diffusion de cette annonce à tous les universitaires 
intéressés. Nous désirons particulièrement identifier des candidats en 
danger de menaces dans leur pays d'origine et qui ignorent l'existence 
de ce programme. Du même coup, nous invitons la participation des 
établissements universitaires qui seraient disposés à accueillir 
quelques boursiers menaces, particulièrement des établissements en 
dehors des États Unis dont la langue d'enseignement est en français, 
espagnol et russe.

  Thanks for your help,
  Gracias por su ayuda,
Merci pour votre aide,

  Robert Quinn
  Executive Director

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2005 FELLOWSHIPS FOR THREATENED SCHOLARS

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Scholar Rescue Fund Fellowships

  The Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund 
provides fellowships for scholars whose lives and work are threatened 
in their home countries. These fellowships permit scholars to find 
temporary refuge at universities and colleges anywhere in the world, 
enabling them to pursue their academic work and to continue to share 
their knowledge with students, colleagues, and the community at large. 
When conditions improve, these scholars will return home to help 
rebuild universities and societies ravaged by fear, conflict and 
repression.

  How the Scholar Rescue Fund Works:

  * Academics, researchers and independent scholars from any country, 
field or discipline may qualify. Preference is given to scholars with a 
Ph.D. or other highest degree in their field; who have been employed in 
scholarly activities at a university, college or other institution of 
higher learning during the last four years (excluding displacement or 
prohibition); who demonstrate superior academic accomplishment or 
promise; and whose selection is likely to benefit the academic 
community in the home and/or host country or region. Applications from 
female scholars and under-represented groups are strongly encouraged.

  * Universities, colleges and research centers in any country may apply 
to serve as hosts.

  * Applications and nominations should be made to the Fund's Selection 
Committee. Institutions interested in hosting a particular scholar 
should submit a letter with the scholar's application. Fellowships are 
awarded to institutions for support of specific individuals, to be 
matched in most cases by the institution or third-party. Fellowship 
recipients are expected to continue their work in safety at the host 
institution-teaching, lecturing, conducting research, writing and 
publishing. Fellowships from 3 months to one calendar year will be 
considered with up to 25 fellowships awarded annually. The maximum 
award is US $20,000.

  * Applications are accepted at any time. Emergency applications 
receive urgent consideration. Non-emergency applications will be 
considered according to the following schedule:

Winter 2005: Applications received by January 1; decision by March 1.

Spring 2005: Applications received by April 1; decision by June 1.

Fall 2005: Applications received by October 1; decision by December 1.
