In 2002, Scholars at Risk parternered with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (SRF), which provides grants to threatened scholars so that they can escape dangerous conditions and continue their academic work in safety at universities in any country.

The SRF is an independent organization but partners closely with SAR member universities in arranging opportunities for threatened scholars. The SRF currently provides fellowships to 25-40 scholars each year.

Institutions interested in hosting SRF scholars are encouraged also to join the network, building links with similarly interested institutions and faculty and increasing the combined capacity of the Network and the Fund to assist threatened scholars and promote academic freedom worldwide.
