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 and teaching them the ideas of freedom and a free-market economy. Founded in 1967, tfas organizes programs for college and university students from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America 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. The fund for American Studies offers transformational programs that teach the principles of limited government, free market economics, and honorable leadership to students and young professionals. Tfas programs inspire these future leaders to make a difference in their communities and throughout the world by upholding the values essential to the preservation of a free society.
