Americans Promoting Study Abroad (APSA) is a non-profit organization focused on preparing high school students in the United States for global engagement. Through student-focused study abroad and exchange programs in China, APSA aims to develop foreign language skills, cross-cultural awareness, and 21st-century competencies, while raising scholarship funds for students from low-income backgrounds. The organization serves American high school youth and seeks to diversify participation in international experiences, aligning with initiatives like IIE’s #generationstudyabroad and the 100K Strong Initiative. Based in New York City, APSA has operated since 2008 and has provided scholarships totaling over $2 million to hundreds of students, with a stated goal of expanding access to 1,000 participants by 2020. Although small in scale, the group works within the education administration sector to expand opportunities for students to engage globally and develop readiness for future careers in a connected world.
