Established with gifts from IIE Trustees Robert L. Dilenschneider and Mark A. Angelson, the Janet Hennessey Dilenschneider Scholar Rescue Award in the Arts will provide life-saving fellowships to 10 threatened scholars in fields such as painting, dance, music, architecture, and the performing arts. The Award becomes part of IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund, which over more than a decade has rescued 525 scholars from more than 50 countries.

"The world is in turmoil and we are in danger of losing the creativity contributed by artists, writers, musicians, if we don’t rescue them from oppression.   The record of our time should be from the arts and not the computer chip," said Janet Hennessey Dilenschneider.
