ANNOUNCEMENT: 2004 - 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:

Fall 2004: Applications received by September 1; decision by November 1.

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

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