Become A PAL

Empower the next generation of Iranians

Iranian alumni have a wealth of experience and knowledge that can accelerate students personal and professional endeavors.

We invite all passionate and dedicated Iranian alumni to be part of our community. By spending a few others a month, in a format that fits your schedule, supporting students and recent graduates, we can help build the next generation of Iranian excellence.
