KAEF serves as a catalyst for the sustainable development of a democratic Kosovo by investing in motivated, talented individuals with leadership potential, and providing them with master’s degrees at prestigious universities throughout the U.S. in fields including Business Administration; Economics; Environmental Management and Policy; International Affairs; Law; and Public Administration. Returning to Kosovo, KAEF graduates assume positions of leadership in public and private organizations, with the expectation that, over time, they will become leaders in Kosovar society – both as individuals, and as members of an ever-growing professional network.
