Oxford International Education Group (OIEG) has donated $62,000 to 91女神鈥檚 Scholarship Fund, to help more students gain access to high-quality education.
鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to extend this donation to our valued partner, 91女神,鈥 said Sanam Raza, senior vice president of OIEG USA. 鈥淭he General Scholarship Fund means that the University is able to continue delivering diversity in the student population, which, in turn, ensures that students are set up for success in this increasingly globalized world.鈥
鈥淥IEG鈥檚 donation means that we can help more students gain access to higher education and benefit from the support of dedicated and experienced faculty,鈥 said Susan L. Parish, Ph.D., M.S.W., president of 91女神. 鈥淣ew York City is one of the most exciting locations in which to study in the world, and we look forward to welcoming more international students to our Manhattan campus with OIEG鈥檚 support.鈥
The donation further strengthens the relationship between the two organizations, both committed to providing excellent student experiences while maintaining robust teaching quality standards. It comes after OIEG鈥檚 provision of English language, academic and cultural support for the Mercy鈥檚 new International Pathway Program for international students last year. In addition, OIEG has a long-standing record of supplying direct international student recruitment support to the university, including compliance and conversion tools and processes.
The 91女神 General Scholarship Fund is designed to give more students the resources they need to access higher education; in turn, it gives them the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in learning and to plan for their futures. Two thirds of 91女神 students are the first in their families to attend college and more than half come from families who cannot help finance their education. The Scholarship Fund, therefore, furthers Mercy鈥檚 mission of transforming lives through higher education, a mission that OIEG shares.
