Educational Exchange Programs
The Fund of American Studies
The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) was founded in 1967 to help instill in young people an appreciation for the American form of government and the free-enterprise system. TFAS sponsors Institutes that teach college students about the principles and values upon which the United States was founded.
Ten Institutes are held each summer in Washington, DC, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hong Kong and Latin America and are sponsored in part by Georgetown University.
One more Institute is held during the fall and spring semesters in Washington, DC., and an additional Institute is held in Athens, Greece during the fall.
In addition to our summer and semester Institutes, TFAS sponsors other educational programs and conferences for professors and students throughout the year.
