ALUMNI RESOURCES
Support Study Abroad
Did you know that one in three world leaders went on an international exchange program? And yet, among Americans, only ten percent of students study abroad. Even fewer come from underrepresented communities.
To date, American Councils for International Education has built a community of more than 94,000 alumni, including national leaders, ministers, members of parliament, ambassadors, and CEOs. Donate today to help us expand access to international education and create a more productive and informed world.

Fund for the Future
Your donation to the Fund for the Future directly supports American Councils and the pursuit of its mission. The Fund for the Future is a long-term campaign focused on strengthening American Councils, supporting direct investments into its scholarship programs, and pursuing research-based program initiatives directly related to its mission.
Diversity and Inclusion Fund
American students that study abroad often fail to mirror the diversity of the US at large. This fund supports traditionally under-served and disadvantaged Americans, because we believe that international education is for everyone. Recipients may apply their award to any one of American Councils’ study abroad programs.
Dan E. Davidson Fellowship
The legacy of Dr. Dan E. Davidson, American Councils President Emeritus, continues through this fund. Designated for scholars and academics, this fellowship supports Americans engaged in the study of less commonly taught and critical languages, as well as field research and area studies in some of the world’s most strategically important regions.
Taiwan Abroad Scholarship
This fund supports American undergraduate and graduate students studying Mandarin Chinese, a critical world language, in the culturally rich and diverse setting of Taiwan. Donations help to prepare our next generation of global leaders develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Chinese language.
Participant Emergency Fund
American Councils is proud to administer life-changing, year-long cultural exchange programs. Occasionally, students and program participants face obstacles beyond the program’s scope, and a little bit of extra help is needed. From applying for a first passport to chipping in for airfare, the Participant Emergency Fund fills gaps not covered by other scholarships and financial aid.
