The Iraqi Student Solidarity Committee is pleased to announce the implementation of a waiver program at the Evergreen State College, collaboratively designed by the ISSC and a college workgroup. We have been working since October to make tuition waivers available to students from Iraq whose educations have been disrupted. This tuition award will help to make an education available to Iraqi students and many others. The following description is also available at the Evergreen Financial Aid site.

Displaced Student Tuition Waivers

The Displaced Student Tuition Waiver is a fund offered to international and domestic students attending The Evergreen State College whose educations have been interrupted by military conflict or natural disaster.

• Displaced Student Waivers are contingent on the availability of funds.
• Waivers are renewable up to four academic years.
• Recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue receiving the waiver.
• Financial need may be considered.

Many thanks to all of our supporters throughout this process. We are continuing to raise money to cover all non-tuition costs for a student from Iraq to attend Evergreen in the fall. Please consider attending "A Night in Solidarity," a dinner on June 27th to benefit the ISSC's fundraising efforts. The dinner will be prepared by Miranda Crone, former executive chef of the Dockside Bistro and Swing! Wine Bar. Follow the link for more information and RSVP instructions- seating is limited!  This event has been canceled.
