Dear Friends,
Amigos Queridos,
Chers Amis,

Following please find an announcement concerning new fellowships for
threatened scholars. Scholars from any country and any field may qualify.
We invite you to nominate suitable candidates, and ask for your help in
forwarding the announcement to any academic colleagues who may be
interested. We are especially eager to identify candidates still facing
threats in their home country/region, who may not be aware of the program.
At the same time, we invite participation from universities and colleges
that might be willing to host fellowship recipients. We are especially
eager to identify universities and colleges outside of the US, especially
French, Spanish and Russian language institutions.

Adjunto sírvase encontrar una convocatoria de becas para académicos en
riesgo. Esta convocatoria abarca académicos de todos los países y todas las
áreas de especialización. Los invitamos a nominar candidatos con el perfil
adecuado y les solicitamos compartir este anuncio con colegas interesados
en el tema. Nos encontramos interesados en identificar candidatos que se
encuentren en riesgo actual en su país o región de origen y que no se hayan
enterado del programa. Simultáneamente, invitamos la participación de las
instituciones académicas dispuestas a auspiciar a los beneficiarios de este
programa. Estamos especialmente interesados en identificar universidades
fuera de los Estados Unidos, con intereses específicos en instituciones de
habla Hispana, Francesa y Rusa.

Veuillez trouver ici une annonce au sujet de nouvelles bourses destinées
aux académiques menacés. Les académiques de n'importe quel pays et de tous
niveaux d'études peuvent être qualifiés. Nous sollicitons votre aide dans
la nomination de quelques candidats et aussi dans la diffusion de cette
annonce à tous les universitaires intéressés. Nous desirons
particulièrement identifier des candidats en danger de menaces dans leur
pays d'origine et qui ignorent l'existence de ce programme. Du même coup,
nous invitons la participation des établissements universitaires qui
seraient disposés a accueillir quelques boursiers menaces, particulièrement
des établissements en dehors des États Unis dont la langue d'enseignement
est en français espagnol et russe.

Thanks for your help,
Gracias por su ayuda,
Merci pour votre aide,

Rob Quinn
Executive Director

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2003 - 2004 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 2003: Applications received by October 1; decision by December 1.

Winter 2004: Applications received by January 1; decision by March 1.

Spring 2004: Applications received by April 1; decision by June 1.
