The Fund for American Studies Program Scholarship
The spring of 2002, People to People International (PTPI) forged a relationship with The Fund for American Studies (TFAS). The goals of TFAS’s programs, American Institute on Political and Economic Systems, Prague; International Institute for Political and Economic Studies, Greece; and Asia Institute for Political Economy, Hong Kong; are very similar to the mission of PTPI.
