we are helping to build a bright future for the global Iranian community
The Iranian Scholarship Fund (ISF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that the very best and most promising Iranian-American students, who are committed to the preservation of Iranian culture, are provided the financial means to attend university. We are entirely comprised of volunteers who believe that by supporting the academic pursuits of these exceptional students, we are helping to build a bright future for the global Iranian community.
Our Board of Trustees is composed of philanthropists, business owners, state senators and other leading members of the Iranian-American community who believe that supporting the best and brightest of our youth is the best way to support our heritage and the future of our community.

Our Gala Committee is charged with creating an annual event that celebrates our ISF students, their hard work and their families, and brings together the entire ISF community so that we may strengthen our bonds and rededicate ourselves to the vital mission of supporting the academic pursuits of our exceptional youth.
Our Selection Committee is responsible for selecting the most promising students to receive our scholarships, choosing students who have demonstrated not only academic excellence and financial need but also a commitment to giving back to the Iranian community the fruits of their academic and professional pursuits.
