The Circassian Education Foundation was established and registered in 2005 in New Jersey and approved by the United States government as a charitable non-profit Foundation (501c3). Its mission is to promote education, culture, knowledge and acquisition of modern life skills to all Circassians in the USA and the world. It shall specifically emphasize the inspiration and support of children and youth toward higher education.
The Circassian tradition has extended a long way in emphasizing education and especially in investing time and effort in the education of children and youth. One of the major goals of the establishment of the Circassian Education Foundation is the promotion and facilitation of children and youth education. It is in response to all these inspirations that the Circassian Education Foundation took as its first and premier project to establish a scholarship program for the benefit of the Circassian youth in the USA.
