Giving back to ÀÏ˾»úÊÓÆµ |
Why give?The American Graduate School in Paris is a not-for-profit institution with the primary mission of offering high quality education to students from around the world. Students graduating from the School of International Relations and Diplomacy at ÀÏ˾»úÊÓÆµ take into their international careers not only the knowledge and skills acquired during their studies but also the values of tolerance and understanding of other cultures infused throughout the school. Our school’s operations are primarily funded by tuition fees, which unfortunately does not allow us to grant even partial scholarships to all the applicants who would need financial help to attend ÀÏ˾»úÊÓÆµ. Additionally, we need more money to expand the library collection, allow our professors to conduct research and participate in international conferences, extend student facilities etc. The John A. Lee Memorial Fund was instated in memory of the first president and co-founder of the school in order to help to fulfill its mission. By giving to the John A. Lee Memorial Fund, you allow the School of International Relations and Diplomacy at ÀÏ˾»úÊÓÆµ to:
You may choose to dedicate your gift specifically to one of those goals, or ask the school to use it at its own discretion. Note: If you do not specify how you would like your donation to be used, it will automatically go into the John A. Lee Fund to be used at the discretion of ÀÏ˾»úÊÓÆµIRD. John A.
