The Fund for American Studies

The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) seeks to create a brighter, more prosperous future by preparing young people for leadership by teaching them the ideas of freedom and a free-market economy. Founded in 1967, TFAS organizes programs in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America for college and university students who are on paths toward leadership in public policy, journalism, international affairs, business, government and related fields. Our goal is to prepare these young people to serve as honorable leaders by educating them in the ideas most conducive to individual freedom, human achievement and personal responsibility.
