IIE’s Emergency Student Fund awards rapid response grants to international students in the U.S. from Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank who have been impacted by the war. Each $2,000 grant helps these students who are living with isolation and fear for their families and communities back home cover essential needs including tuition, housing, and medical expenses, so they can remain safely enrolled in their academic institutions.
