AEFP is pleased to offer multiple engagement opportunities throughout the academic year. Learn more about each program and how to connect with your AEFP colleagues.


Community Groups

To help foster more supportive spaces within AEFP, we are creating member community groups. We hope these groups will help to build community, create networks, and share professional resources. Each group will also work to design their own goals for the year. For the inaugural year, we will have the following community groups: 


Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship Program

AEFP’s Pre-Doctoral Diversity Fellowship Program is to provide opportunities for individuals who have not yet applied to doctoral programs to learn more about education finance and policy research and to help them navigate the process of applying to doctoral programs. Learn more here:
