Save a Life, Save the World

In September 2006, the Scholar Rescue Fund launched the Save-a-Scholar Campaign. For each contribution of $30,000, SRF will be able to rescue a scholar from one of the many countries in which academics are being persecuted today, such as Belarus, Iraq, Iran, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Each contribution will also be matched up to $20,000 by a host college or university.

The Save-a-Scholar Campaign enables SRF to provide support and safe haven to scholars who would otherwise be silenced, imprisoned, or even killed. These remarkable individuals, whose voices, ideas, and work are essential to human progress, are helping to make the world a better place.
