International Student Resource Center: What DSOs need to know.

A 2024 National Academies report concluded, in essence, that the primary if not sole global talent pipeline for the United States are international students, scholars, and researchers attracted to U.S. university campuses. “The U.S. has a talent program,” the National Academies committee chair said, “It’s called graduate school.” 

In order to strengthen the talent pipeline, the Talent Mobility Fund, a project of Renaissance Philanthropy, has created a first-of-its-kind membership organization serving all international students in the United States. Through webinars, a monthly newsletter and recordings, the International Student Resource Center provides comprehensive resources for students on successfully navigating the U.S. immigration system. In addition to these informational services, the Center will offer students access to well-experienced immigration attorneys, when their questions go beyond the scope of their DSO’s or institutions to respond.
