SAIS’s two-year Leaders for the Future initiative has raised $7 million of its $7.5 million goal to triple fi nancial aid funds for students. With a June 30 deadline rapidly approaching, we need your support. Outright gifts of stock and multiyear donations will be gratefully accepted (planned gifts such as bequests can also count toward the goal). Students come to the school because they want to make a difference in the world. With a SAIS education—and your assistance—they will. To help ensure a SAIS degree is within reach of promising students, go to www.sais-jhu.edu/giving or contact Michael Roberts at mroberts@jhu.edu or 202.663.5630. Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Funds New Initiative
The Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation will fund a new initiative at SAIS to support research and related activities focused on Central Europe. Dan Hamilton, SAIS professor and founding director of the Center for Transatlantic Relations, will lead the endeavor. Beginning in 2010, two outstanding scholars will be selected to conduct research on issues related to the region. “This grant honors the tremendous legacy of the Marshall Plan and the deep ties that have evolved between the United States, Austria and the people of Central Europe,” said Ferdinand Lacina, foundation president. How to Contribute to the Fund for Public Service
Thanks to contributions from alumni and friends, 20 SAIS students received summer 2009 stipends for unpaid government internships from the Fund for Public Service. The fund was created by a SAIS alumnus to provide fi nancial assistance to students pursuing careers in the U.S. government. For summer 2010, $7,205 is needed to award 20 student stipends. To contribute to the fund, contact Spencer Abruzzese at spencera@jhu.edu or call 202.663.5646. [return to contents] |
