The Institute of International Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) Fellowship 2024 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. They have awarded IIE-SRF fellowships to 1,108 scholars from 62 countries, placing them at 502 host partner institutions in 58 countries around the world.

The IIE-SRF fellowship package includes the following:

  • A yearlong research and/or teaching appointment at a higher education institution in a safe location anywhere in the world;
  • a fellowship grant of up to $25,000 (most awards are eligible for renewal for a second and final year);
  • individual health insurance coverage;
  • funding for relocation to the host institution;
  • professional development support through resource guides and access to academic networks; CV and cover letter review; letters of reference; career mentorship and advising on post-fellowship opportunities; and (in some cases) financial support for conference attendance and language training;
  • opportunities through IIE-SRF or partner events, media, or other venues to share or promote the fellow’s academic work and/or speak about their home country;
  • dedicated support from IIE-SRF and its partners – before, during, and after the fellowship.
