The Mark Smith Scholarship Endowment Fund for the Academy of American and International Law

To reduce the number of individuals unable to participate in the Academy because of the lack of financial resources, The Center for American and International has established the Mark Smith Academy Scholarship Endowment Fund.

Named in honor of Mark Smith, who dedicated over two decades of service to leading the Academy, this endowment pays tribute to Mark’s unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity, intellectual growth, and a supportive environment for every participant. Mark's passion for the Academy and for promoting the rule of law has left an enduring legacy, touching the lives of countless graduates who fondly remember him as a mentor and a friend.

Your donations will allow more individuals to access the transformative opportunities offered by the Academy while strengthening the Academy by ensuring participants have diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
