Kosovo American Education Fund (KAEF) Evaluation

This document reports on an evaluation of the Kosovo American Educational Fund (KAEF), a scholarship fund established in 2004 to send Kosovars to U.S. colleges and universities for master’s degrees. 

Since its establishment, 51 Fellows have received KAEF support to attend master’s programs in the U.S. The expectation was that income generated by the endowment would support at least ten Fellows annually. Additional resources that AC was expected to generate from other donors would enable AC to augment that number of Fellows. Because the ultimate objective of the effort was Kosovo’s economic development, scholarships were limited to fields of study such as business, public administration, economics, international affairs, policy, and urban planning.
