Oxford International Education Group (OIEG) has donated $62,000 to B��Ԫ’s Scholarship Fund, to help more students gain access to high-quality education.

 “We’re delighted to extend this donation to our valued partner, B��Ԫ,” said Sanam Raza, senior vice president of OIEG USA. “The 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.”

 “OIEG’s donation means that we can help more students gain access to higher education and benefit from the support of dedicated and experienced faculty,” said Susan L. Parish, Ph.D., M.S.W., president of B��Ԫ. “New 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’s support.”

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’s provision of English language, academic and cultural support for the Mercy’s 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 B��Ԫ 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 B��Ԫ 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’s mission of transforming lives through higher education, a mission that OIEG shares.
