The Belgian American Educational Foundation is the leading independent philanthropy in the support of exchanging university students, scientists and scholars between the United States and Belgium.
The benevolent service of Belgians and Americans, sound financial management, far-reaching fundraising, and innovation in programs are the cornerstones of this showpiece of Belgian-American friendship.
The Belgian subsidy to the B.A.E.F. is intended to permit this Foundation to award Grants for young Belgian scientists for scientific research, international exchanges and post-graduate education in American universities.
Each year, the Belgian Science Policy gives funding representing the intervention of Belgium to various education related institutions - public or private, Belgian or foreign.
Given the nature and the national or international missions of these institutions, the subsidies or credits continue to be borne by the federal budget.
