Studying at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) can transform careers and lives. For many ambitious students from around the world this opportunity remains out of reach due to financial barriers.
The ISS Alumni Fund helps bridge this gap by providing scholarships worth €17,500 per year to talented Master students with limited means, enabling them to pursue their education and make a lasting impact in their communities.

'Thank you for an amazing experience that opened many doors.'
R. T. - former ISS student
'When I was looking for a charity for my pension I decided that ISS is a very worthy destination. I’m impressed by the international community and the enthusiastic students who, through their education here, can and want to make a difference in their work, anywhere in the world, wherever they come from.'
M. vd W. - donor
'...such funds are well invested. Let there be many more students to study at ISS. I enjoyed my time in 1990/91 in the ARD programme which allowed me to professionally advance and share knowledge during project implementation.'
M.S. - former ISS student
