Thank you for your desire to provide immediate support for our Faces of America Scholars! AFS-USA depends upon the generous support from our committed friends and donors, who, like you, help us to further our reach into underserved communities each and every year.
Your financial support allows AFS-USA's Faces of America Scholarship program to give more low-income high school students the opportunities and support they need to transform their lives, achieve their own potential, and create change as role models and everyday leaders in their communities.
Currently, AFS-USA has among its Faces of America supporters many prestigious individual, corporate and foundation partners. Matching funds provided by our community based partner organizations enhance these funds, allowing AFS-USA to maximize the number of scholarships offered each year.
We would like to thank the following funders for their generosity in 2011:
AFS-USA is proud to announce that the AFS-USA - von Briesen Family Challenge has reached its goal of raising $50,000 for Faces of America, our signature diversity program!
With Theodore (Ted) von Briesen matching all donations dollar for dollar, AFS-USA is now able to offer $100,000 in additional scholarship support for deserving students from disadvantaged communities across the nation and provide them with the opportunity for a transformational study abroad experience.
