Margaret Sanders with
NESA's David ChojnackiMargaret Sanders, longtime friend of American/international education through her association with Walsworth Publishing Company, established a scholarship fund, the Margaret Sanders Foundation, to help graduates of our schools attend college. Four $5,000 scholarships are awarded each spring to graduating seniors at international schools who demonstrate persistence, motivation, resourcefulness, and acceptance of other cultures and points of view. Academics, educational and vocational aspirations, financial need and involvement in journalism are also considered in the selection process.

Each regional association (ie, NESA, AISA, EARCOS, ECIS, etc) chooses one candidate for consideration by the Margaret Sanders Foundation. Each NESA regular member school may nominate one candidate, whose application must reach NESA by December 1.
