Stephen A. Fausel has been a longtime friend and supporter of IWP, and this past spring, he decided that he wanted to impact the lives of our students directly.
His generous one-time gift towards the Stephen A. Fausel Scholarships for Intelligence Students made possible scholarships for ten students in the intelligence program at the Institute.
These students are so grateful for Dr. Fausel’s support. IWP student Michael Webber says, “Mr. Fausel’s generosity has enabled me to continue to pursue my Masters degree at The Institute of World Politics and has been especially helpful in these tough economic times. His generosity is helping train a future generation of leaders that will face a world of complex challenges.”
Another Fausel Scholarship recipient, Gabriella Gervasio, who just graduated from IWP with an M.A. in Statecraft and National Security Affairs and a Specialization in Intelligence, comments:
“The last two years have positively affirmed my decision to continue my higher education at IWP. Our professors brought in their personal experience and tailored courses accordingly. Throughout my time at IWP, high expectations were placed on the students in order to grow academically and learn to think strategically. Thank you for helping make this experience possible for me, and the other recipients of the Steven A. Fausel Scholarships!”
Dr. Fausel is Director of The Fausel Foundation, and CEO of Fausel Companies, and serves on IWP’s Advisory Board. At the 2011 Commencement ceremony, IWP conferred upon Dr. Fausel Doctor of Laws degree, honoris causa.
