The AFSA Scholarship program has supported Foreign
Service youth since 1926. Only children of AFSA mem-
bers may apply for and receive an AFSA scholarship
award. Thanks to generous individual and organization
donors,
We were honored to receive additional contributions
to seven existing scholarships, and establish three
new scholarship funds. In addition, through a very
generous bequest from the estate of retired FSO Louis
Hebert, AFSA will establish several new scholarships
to be given in the name of Mr. Hebert and his wife, Va-
leria. AFSA celebrated the milestone of having $8 million
in the fund by pivoting from a fundraising posture to a
focus on effectively and efficiently administering
these funds.
