Giving to MIT is tax-deductible within the limitations of U.S. federal income tax laws Launched in 2023 as a two-year pilot, the Global MIT At-Risk Fellows program (GMAF) gives international scholars the opportunity to temporarily engage with the MIT community on campus, with the aim to foster innovation around the world through the fellows’ academic contributions and leadership. The GMAF pilot program, which initially focused on Ukrainian faculty, is expanding to bring Palestinian research fellows, known as “GMAF fellows,” to MIT. For each year of the pilot, MIT will select up to 5 Palestinian fellows, currently either in Palestine or recently displaced from Palestine. They will each spend a semester at MIT. The research fellow will be paired with an MIT faculty advisor in their field, who will act as collaborator and academic mentor. MIT covers expenses including travel, accommodations, visas, health insurance, instructional materials, as well as a general living stipend. The first GMAF-Palestine fellow arrived at MIT in September 2025. Global MIT: 3 Questions: Developing sustainable guidelines for rebuilding in Gaza We would like to extend our appreciation to GMAF-Palestine Fell

About Us - IIE Scholar Rescue Fund Skip to content About Us Around the world, scholars have long suffered harassment, detention, torture, and other forms of persecution as a result of their work. In the worst cases, scholars pay with their lives for their dedication to their academic work and freedom of thought. The Institute of International Education (IIE), an independent not-for-profit organization, has supported opportunities for persecuted scholars since its founding in 1919. In 2002, IIE launched the Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) to formalize its commitment to protecting the lives, voices, and ideas of scholars around the globe. IIE-SRF is the only global program that arranges, funds, and supports fellowships for threatened and displaced scholars at partnering higher education institutions worldwide, including inside their home regions. IIE-SRF selects outstanding professors, researchers, and public intellectuals for fellowship support and arranges visiting academic positions with partnering institutions of higher learning and research. Our fellowships enable scholars to pursue their academic work in safety and to continue to share their knowledge with students, colleagues, and the community. If conditions in the scholars’ home countries improve, scholars may return after their fellowships to make meaningful contributions to their national academies and civil society. If safe return is not possible, scholars may use the fellowship period to identify longer-term opportun
