Iraq: Cradle of Civilization in Ruins:  Iraq was once a center where ancient learning was translated and preserved, where poetry and music and medicine flourished. In modern times
Iraq built a thriving system of higher education and sent thousands of students to study all over the world, returning to teach and work in Iraq. But now Iraq's educational system is in ruins. 84% of schools and universities were targeted and bombed during the invasion and ensuing violence. Students in Iraq are without teachers, without books, computers, without university structures. More than 2.2 million took refuge in Syria and Jordan but are unable to pursue higher education in those countries, and only a few succeed in being resettled elsewhere.

What Americans Can Do: The Iraqi Student Project (ISP) invites colleges and universities in the United States to accept qualified students and grant tuition waivers for undergraduate study. We work with community leadership to provide the support these students will need during their college years. The ISP support groups serve as communities of friends for each student throughout their years of study in the US.
