Application Deadline: 15 June 2009

IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund (SRF) provides fellowship grants for scholars
whose lives or careers are threatened in their home countries. The
fellowships support temporary academic positions at universities, colleges
and other higher learning institutions in safe locations anywhere in the
world. Fellowship periods of up to one calendar year are intended to allow
the scholars to continue their important work pending improvement in
conditions allowing their safe return home. Fellowships may be renewed for a
second and final year. Since 2002 we have received more than 2000 requests
for assistance from scholars in 100 countries. 292 scholars from 40
countries have been awarded fellowships and placed at institutions in 33
countries around the world.
