This year, American Councils celebrates its 40th year of connecting peoples and cultures around the world. To mark the milestone, American Councils and its Board of Trustees announced the creation of the 40th Anniversary Scholarship Fund to provide underserved American students opportunities to study abroad.

In November, the Board of Trustees presented a matching grant challenge to help fund the scholarship. In just 40 days, our American alumni raised $4,030, which has been matched by our Board of Trustees to contribute a total of $8,000 to the 40th Anniversary Scholarship Fund.

On the heels of this success, we are opening the season of giving with our annual employee giving campaign. After raising $8,000 for our new 40th Anniversary Scholarship Fund, the AC staff has now set a goal to raise another $4,000 in scholarship funds!

This season, we hope you will join our efforts to provide talented and deserving American students with the life-changing opportunity of language and cultural immersion abroad. The 40th Anniversary Scholarship Fund will be distributed to successful applicants of AC Study Abroad programs who demonstrate financial need.
