Three FAMU International Students Awarded by The Institute of International Education

The Institute of International Education (IIE) has awarded monetary aid to three FAMU Bahamian students that were directly affected by Hurricane Dorian. 

The New York City-based non-profit created the Bahamas Emergency Student Fund (ESF) to provide Bahamian students, who are enrolled in a U.S. degree program, with enough financial support so that are able to avoid prematurely dropping out and returning back home. Accredited universities were invited to nominate up to five students for monetary assistance.
