ACHS and The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) are pleased to announce that one inducted student member of each of the ACHS societies will be awarded a merit-based $1000 scholarship for a TFAS Summer Institute or Capital Semester.
For more than 30 years, The Fund for American Studies, in partnership with Georgetown University, has been educating student leaders from across the nation and world. We offer summer and semester institutes that combine rigorous courses for academic credit with competitive internships, leadership development activities, and lectures led by prominent policy experts.
For years, honors students have been our best and brightest participants, as they are most capable of taking advantage of all aspects of our intense summer Institutes. We believe that these summer and semester programs are a great addition to the leadership development that students receive on their respective campuses.
The scholarships will be awarded by TFAS on a competitive basis and will be applied toward each recipient’s overall cost. No money will be paid directly to the scholarship recipients. Additional scholarship funding above the $1,000 is available from our general scholarship fund for students who are members of your honor societies.
The TFAS programs ensure that students leave the nation’s capital with solid practical training, leadership skills, and a unique networking experience that will give them the edge to succeed as future leaders. Students live in furnished apartments in the heart of the city and are enrolled as full-time students at Georgetown University.

Engalitcheff Institute on Comparative Political and Economic Systems: for economics, political science, or international relations majors, or anyone interested in government or politics.
