Belgian American Educational Foundation

It supports the exchange of university students, scientists and scholars between the United States and Belgium.

The foundation fosters the higher education of deserving Belgians and Americans through its exchange-fellowship program.

After the war, the University Foundation, and on 9 January 1920, the B.A.E.F., were founded with the budget remaining in the hands of the commission after five years of relief work.

The Belgian American Educational Foundation became the heir of the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

After World War I, the BAEF invested in land and buildings for the Université libre de Bruxelles (Solbosch campus) and also for rebuilding the library of the Catholic University of Leuven.
