Scholarships for World Peace
Since 2001, the ELI has been raising funds to support the scholarship program “A Thousand Voices for Peace,” which was launched in response to the events of September 11.
“Tragic political and economic events of the last decade,” said Director Scott Stevens, “underscore the need for increased educational and cultural exchange as a vital means of fostering world peace and creating economic opportunities for the world’s poorer citizens.”
Money donated to the fund provides tuition scholarships to economically disadvantaged international students, so they can study English at the ELI and, very importantly, get to know, work with, and develop long lasting friendships with Americans and other international students from many countries.
Those of you who have benefited from an ELI education or who believe in our mission are urged to consider sending a donation in any amount. Such gifts will help future students fulfill their dreams.
There are two easy ways to make a donation:
- Send a check in $US payable to the “University of Delaware” to the following address:
Office of Annual Giving,
University of Delaware,
Newark DE 19716.
Please be sure to write “ELI” on the memo line.
- Or go to the University of Delaware’s website (www.udel.edu/makeagift), click on the “Make a gift or pledge" box, and complete the gift information form. Be sure to go to the bottom of the form and check “other designation” and type in “English Language Institute” or "ELI."
Thank you!
