This year, the ASA Foundation is again supporting fundraising efforts for its philanthropic partner, Jobs for America’s Graduates—specifically, to provide scholarships for the JAG National Student Leadership Academy.

Each year, the academy program hosts 800 student delegates from across the nation to participate in three days of professional and personal development activities. The cost to attend ranges from $1,000 to $2,000—quite steep for deserving, but economically disadvantaged, youth. Your donation will help remove this financial burden for a select group of JAG student scholars.

By contributing to the ASA Foundation JAG scholar fund, you will provide a high school student a life-changing experience that will help shape their professional future in the workforce.

Give to the ASA Foundation JAG scholar fund before the year ends—and help spread the word on social media using the hashtag #ASACares.

The ASA board of directors and staff welcome the following new members, which joined during the week ending Nov. 29.
