Americans Promoting Study Abroad (APSA) aims to foster global-ready American citizens by equipping high school youth with the skills, experiences and connections necessary to navigate future careers in an increasingly hyperconnected and interdependent world. APSA’s goal is to increase the overall diversity and number of American youth who are actively developing foreign language fluency, cross-cultural awareness and 21st-century skills. We develop student-focused study abroad and exchange programs in China and raise scholarship funds for students from low incomes. Since 2008 APSA has provided 400 diverse American high school students across the US with over $2M in scholarships to take part in our programs in China. APSA has committed to reaching a total of 1000 deserving American youth by 2020 and is part of the IIE's #generationstudyabroad initiative and a signature partner of the 100K Strong Initiative. APSA is a registered 501(c)3 organization in Washington, D.C and New York State. Our administrative office is located in New York City. We're official!
