AASCU invites submissions to present at the American Democracy Project Summit, happening July 13-14, 2025 in Indianapolis, IN. We seek a diversity of perspectives and experiences, and we especially encourage presentations that include students and feature teams.
Democracy can be frustrating, slow, and contentious. Often, the civic engagement work done on a campus can feel isolated and be un- or under-appreciated. This meeting will change that narrative by showcasing that, through AASCU’s American Democracy Project, there are resources and a community that exists to help build and grow civic engagement within higher education.
Meeting details.Topical Sessions (45-minute sessions): Presentations, which could be led by an individual or a group, designed to share best practices and/or facilitate conversations about the practical application of civic and community engagement projects. If accepted, you may be paired with another concurrent session to share the 45-minute time block.
Ignite Talks (5-minute sessions): Designed for individuals to share compelling, innovative practices on a large stage, ignite talks use 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds and requires speakers to be concise, prepared, and dynamic.
Poster Sessions: Textual and graphical presentations of civic engagement projects or research.
We recognize how interconnected the field of civic engagement is. This topic selection allows us to maintain a diverse portfolio of options.

Apply now.U.S. President Joseph R. Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the Generation 250 Scholarship Program in December 2022 to commemorate the historic friendship between the United States and France, marking 250 years since France’s role in founding the U.S.
The program will award 250 scholarships to place 250 French students at American universities starting in fall 2026. The goal is to foster academic and cultural exchange and empower the next generation of global leaders.
Students participating in this program will receive scholarships through the U.S. Embassy in France. These scholarships will cover the costs associated with studying at U.S. institutions for one semester, allowing students to benefit from the rich academic and cultural experiences available across AASCU member campuses.
AASCU is proud to partner with the U.S. Embassy in France and Mission Interuniversitaire de Coordination des Echanges Franco-Américains (MICEFA) to provide French students with access to its extensive network of U.S. campuses.
AASCU member institutions have a strong commitment to internationalization and student support and are ideal candidates for participating in the Generation 250 program. Our institutions provide the ideal environment for students to thrive, offering programs that combine academic excellence with meaningful cultural immersion.
AASCU institutions with:
250 scholarships: The Generation 250 scholarship covers tuition, fees, round-trip airfare, room and board, and other expenses the 250 French students may incur during their semester. No financial participation is expected from U.S. institutions.
Cultural and academic exchange: The program includes a combination of academic study and cultural exchange activities designed to deepen mutual understanding between France and the U.S.
All communities: The program is designed to be inclusive, providing students from all backgrounds the opportunity to experience life and education in the United States.
