The IRIS Global Citizen Scholarship is intended to assist IRIS alumni in continuing their educational pursuits by offering scholarships to attend training workshops or pursue other educational endeavors in their own country.

Scholarships are open to any IRIS program alumni and are not limited to any program, program year or age range. Applicants must have returned to their home country, and the educational opportunity must occur in their home country. Applicants are limited to one application per year. Scholarships of $200 – $2,000 per alum, per year, will be based on current community involvement, the benefit to the applicant, the benefit to their community and country, supplemental sources of funding, and financial need. Application requests can be made for continuing years of education, but continued funding will be dependent on the successful completion of each educational term. A separate application must be made for each term.
