The Arab-American Educational Foundation, Inc. (AAEF) was established in Houston in 1985 as a non-profit organization.

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.
We exist to promote understanding of Arab culture, history, and language, through the endowment of university chairs and the sponsoring of academic programs, lecture series, cultural performances, scholarships, and research. The AAEF has no political or religious affiliation, and depends solely on the generosity of its donors.
