Academic Institutions Around the World Make the
Work of the Scholar Rescue Fund Possible
“We are pleased to have a fellow of the
Scholar Rescue Fund at our institute. I think
this is a win-win situation for both sides
involved. It also opens a window of opportunity
for the originating countries to strengthen
their education and research ties with outside
universities and research organisations. With
this, the Scholar Rescue Fund is the nucleus
for triggered additional activities that multiply
the invested funds.”
– Dr. Christoph Schüth,
Technische Universität Darmstadt,
Institute for Applied
Geosciences, Hydrogeology Group, Germany
The work of the Scholar Rescue Fund
would not be possible without invaluable
support from leading academic institutions
around the world that provide safe and
open spaces for scholars to continue their
important academic work. Academic
departments, professors, administrators,
and students on hundreds of campuses
have extended extraordinary professional
and personal care to visiting scholars and

“In 2008-2009, the West African Research
Center (WARC) in Dakar, Senegal, hosted
two Scholar Rescue Fund scholars from the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Both scholars contributed papers for discussion on panels and successfully managed to make their audience understand
what it truly is to be at war and the risks run
by families in war-torn countries such as
the DRC. Their respective presentations
were sobering moments for the young audience that attended the event. Many of the
students present vowed to commit to and
actively engage in any initiative likely to
promote and entrench peace in their
respective communities.”

West African Research Center (WARC),

our partners for all they do.
“Hosting a scholar was one of the most
meaningful things I have done during my
30 years in international education.”
–Michael Clarke, Executive Director,
International Center, Southern
Methodist University, USA
“Our participation in the Scholar Rescue Fund
program has brought our students into contact
with a scholar and a perspective that no other
format could provide.”

for International Programs, University
