Americans Promoting Study Abroad (APSA) develops programs designed to prepare young Americans for life and work in the 21st century. APSA's core summer program brings deserving public high school students on full scholarship from seven US cities to study in Beijing. The program focuses on language acquisition, cultural understanding, leadership development, and exposure to international careers.

APSA programs provide participating students the knowledge, experience, and motivation to establish the foundation for lifelong engagement with foreign cultures necessary to prepare the next generation of American leadership for the challenges our nation will face in the 21st Century.

APSA has brought 100 American public high school students on full scholarship to China since 2008.
