The Eurasia Center promotes international education as the main staple of understanding and building better relations between America and Europe and Asia. Many of our interns come from America, Europe and Asia, as well as Africa…and they are trained in understanding the new international trends and developments in Eurasia. This is important for America and it is important for the rest of the world…to understand how we are being affected in the new global village which we call Earth. What happens in one area quickly affect another…and vice-versa. Our Education Program involves all that seek to promote positive relations between nations and peoples. Naturally, this seems like a lofty goal, but as optimists, the Eurasia Center staff rise to the challenges presented to our world today. Education is an area that is crucial in solving the world problems not just for our generation but for generations to come, as we discover important truths to impart to our students around the globe. The Eurasia Center website is visited by thousands and thousands of people around the world. Our mission is to educate them and inform them that we can truly build one better world.

The Eurasia Center Scholarship Fund

Many students cannot afford to continue their education in universities in Russia, Ukraine and other parts of Eurasia. The Eurasia Center has a program to help talented, underprivileged scholars who want to learn but lack funds. The Eurasia Center created such a scholarship for the East Ukrainian National University in Lugansk, Ukraine. A writing competition was created with one of the top professors at the University to select a topic on international affairs for students to write about. The winners of the competition used the prize money to further their education at the University. 46 students submitted papers for the competition and three scholars were chosen as winners and awarded various amounts of scholarship stipends. This Eurasia Center scholarship program was a citizen-to-citizen based initiative. It also involved institutes of higher learning which are finding it more difficult to help their brightest scholars to support themselves through their programs of study.

You can also interact at such a personal level and actively select students and evaluate their credentials by becoming involved with the Eurasia Center's Scholarship Fund. Philanthropy can be fun and exciting. Your donation can be made in your name or the name of a loved one in remembrance. The scholarship and or results will appear on the Eurasia Center website and be published in the Eurasia Journal.

Many charitable organizations do not allow the donor to make decisions on how contributions are spent or how a scholarship is designed. However, the Eurasia Center will allow you to make decisions. You can choose a country in Europe or Asia (Eurasia) and the field of study where your money will go to help needy students. Education is one of the top priorities in terms of bringing positive relations to the new nations and generations developing within these societies. Getting positive support from Americans is essential in developing new and long lasting relationships with these countries. The amount of the scholarships or support can be as small or as large as you feel comfortable with. It may reach several scholars or many.
