Americans Promoting Study Abroad (APSA) was founded in 2008 by business professionals who have extensive experience living and working overseas. We believe in empowering underserved youth through study abroad experiences. Our programs provide youth with the knowledge, experience and motivation to establish the foundation for lifelong engagement with foreign cultures necessary to prepare them for an increasing cross-cultural, globalized workplace. Since 2008 we have given 400 scholarships to deserving youth, our goal is to reach 1000 youth by 2020.
