The Hegg Hoffet Fund for Displaced Women Graduates deals with applications for assistance from graduate women (in special cases tertiary women students) who have been displaced as a result of war, political upheaval or other serious emergencies, and makes short term grants for refresher courses for re-entry into the candidates’ professional fields, and courses for integration into new countries.

In case of serious natural disasters, national federations and associations may apply for short-term grants on behalf of university women (women students), who suffered hardship due to the disaster, and who wish to continue their work or studies.

Graduate women refugees generally need moral support as well in order to learn to live in a different country.

This support is given by national and local groups of university women from all over the world.

Deadline: 15th October each year.
