Where to Give
ELI Scholarship Fund
Through the generosity of alumni and donors from around the world, the ELI is able to provide significant scholarships to students each year.
These scholarships assist high-performing students who need the financial assistance in order to complete their ELI program and achieve their goals.
WISE Program Support
Support a new start for female student evacuees in our Women’s Initiatives in Service and Education.
These brave and talented young women saw their studies disrupted first by the pandemic and, more recently, by upheavals in their home country.
The WISE program offers English language training along with cultural and academic preparation to allow the students to resume their education in the United States.
Scott Stevens eli student support fund
The ELI has established the Scott Stevens ELI Student Support Fund to honor his service and continue his vision of welcoming students from around the world into the ELI.
Your contributions will help us launch this fund and provide financial gifts that will be used for both educational costs for ELI programs as well as Student Life events. We know when students complete their programs in ELI, it is the experiences that students remember with a sense of accomplishment and belonging. As we strive to expand and enhance our offerings, we invite you to continue your support, playing a pivotal role in the success of our students.
