IIE Venezuela-ESF Host Agreement

The University of Kentucky International Center (UKIC) proposes to apply for a scholarship for international student who have emergency needs for funds to continue their studies so that their academic careers are not interrupted as a result of the crisis in their home country. The Emergency Student Fund (ESF) is administered by the Institute for International Education (IIE) on behalf of the US Department of State’s Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs (USDOS/ECA). This program is aimed at providing grants of $3,000 - $5,000 each to selected students nominated by their U.S. host colleges and universities who are unable to continue or complete their degree program in the United States due to serious financial difficulties precipitated by the situation in Venezuela. UKIC will work closely with IIE to award the scholarship to student selected.
