Persecuted Scholars Grant Fund

A group that aims to provide temporary positions at colleges in the United States and elsewhere for foreign scholars forced to flee their countries because of violence, threats, or other persecution has established a fund that will provide grants of up to $20,000 to institutions that play host to persecuted academics.

Scholars at Risk is now seeking temporary posts for academics from Iran, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Iraq.

Further information about the program is available on: http://scholarsatrisk.uchicago.edu/IIESRF.htm or http://scholars atrisk.uchicago.edu.
