 The Arab-American Educational Foundation, Inc. (AAEF) was established in Houston in 1985 as a non-profit organization. We have produced many educational events and became the only organization in the country to establish two chairs of Arab studies at different universities in the same city: at Rice University and the University of Houston. These achievements have been made possible by generous donations from the Arab-American community.
