U.S. organizations and universities are joining together to provide scholarships, guidance, and other support in order to assist Syrian students seeking to continue their academic work despite the grave situation in Syria.  Details can be found on the online portal Syria Scholarships:   http://www.iie.org/Programs/Syria-Scholarships

 

In addition, Syrian scholars may find support through the Scholar Rescue Fund, an initiative of the Institute of International Education (IIE) that provides fellowships for established professors, researchers and public intellectuals whose lives or careers are threatened in their home countries.  More information is available here: http://www.scholarrescuefund.org/pages/for-scholars.php
