The main objective of ISF is to ensure that the next generations of Iranians growing up in the U.S. remember Iran and are proud of their Iranian heritage and community.

We firmly believe that the future of the global Iranian community is in the hands of the next generation. If we support our best and brightest students today, they will impact millions of Iranians around the world tomorrow.

Leila Haghighat, a senior biology major who will graduate this spring from UC San Diego after completing her coursework in three years, is the second student from UCSD to have won the Churchill Scholarship since the inception of the program in 1963. She will spend the next year working towards an M.Phil. degree in translational medicine and therapeutics at Cambridge University.

ISF is a 100% volunteer organization allocating all donated funds to awards. We provide merit and need based scholarships to undergraduate students attending a four year university in the United States.

To date, ISF has awarded over $2,000,000 in scholarships to over 170 students. Each award can be as high as $10,000 per year, for up to four years of undergraduate study.
