Sen. Rand Paul speaks with students during a TFAS Capitol Hill Lecture.

Your involvement will make a powerful difference in our nation’s future by allowing students with outstanding leadership potential to attend the TFAS Institute on Business and Government Affairs (IBGA). This comprehensive program includes: courses on economics and government relations for transferable credit; guaranteed internships with government affairs offices of notable corporations, trade associations and lobbying firms in the D.C. area; and unparalleled access to networking and professional development opportunities including special guest lectures, site briefings, a mentorship program and more.

85% of our exceptional students would be unable to participate without your generosity. Funds raised by this annual dinner support scholarships for highly qualified, ambitious student leaders to attend our transformational TFAS academic internship programs. Thanks to sponsors and attendees like you, the dinner has raised over $5 million since 1990. Yet the need is growing. Help us say “yes” to more of our impressive applicants in 2019, regardless of their financial ability.

It’s no exaggeration to say I’m doing what I’m doing now directly because of the opportunities presented to me by The Fund for American Studies. For that, I am endlessly grateful.” – Stephen F. Hayes, TFAS Alumnus
