ISP seeks to make undergraduate education possible for qualified students who were studying in Iraq, have been unable to continue their education because of the violence, and intend to return and contribute to the rebuilding of their country. These students are recommended for study without regard to gender, nationality, religion or ethnicity. In the United States, ISP works with colleges and universities to secure tuition waivers or full scholarships, and with local communities to build support groups for each student
