Scott Stevens ELI student support fund

The ELI has established the Scott Stevens ELI Student Support Fund to honor his service and continue his vision of welcoming students from around the world into the ELI.

Your contributions will help us launch this fund and provide financial gifts that will be used for both educational costs for ELI programs as well as Student Life events. We know when students complete their programs in ELI, it is the experiences that students remember with a sense of accomplishment and belonging. As we strive to expand and enhance our offerings, we invite you to continue your support, playing a pivotal role in the success of our students.
