NAFSA confirmed today that there will be a informational session for attendees to hear all about potential opportunities to collaborate on the Iraq Education Initiative scholarship at the Annual Conference & Expo held in Los Angeles this May. We encourage all universities to attend this session as it will be extremely informative and give you the most up to date information on the details of the scholarship and when it will be awarded.

The session speaker, Dr. Zuhair Humadi is the brainchild of the Iraq Education Initiative and a graduate of the US educational system. He will discuss ways that the admissions offices will be able to collaborate with the scholarship initiative to admit qualified students to their programs.

To begin building a directory of Universities that accept international students without the SAT requirement and that offer ESL and conditional admissions programs we are encouraging all admissions officers to add your information to the College & University Directory.
